Nasi Tutug Oncom, or TO, is a specialty dish from Tasikmalaya that combines warm rice with oncom (fermented soybean cake) mashed together with fragrant spices. The distinctive aroma of basil leaves and kencur (aromatic ginger) blends with the savory grilled oncom to create a simple yet irresistibly addictive flavor. It's usually enjoyed with side dishes such as fried chicken, salted fish, and fresh Sundanese-style raw vegetables.

👩🍳 Instructions
- 1 Grill the oncom over low heat, or roast it with a little oil, until the surface is dry and fragrant, then set aside to cool slightly.
- 2 Grind the shallots, garlic, red chilies, bird's eye chilies, kencur, shrimp paste, and salt using a mortar and pestle or a blender until roughly combined.
- 3 Heat the oil in a skillet, then sauté the ground spice paste together with the bay leaves until fragrant and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes.
- 4 Add the grilled oncom to the sautéed spices, crumble it with a spatula while stirring until evenly mixed and the seasoning is fully absorbed.
- 5 Add the shaved palm sugar, stir again until evenly mixed and cooked, taste, and adjust the salt if needed.
- 6 Add the basil leaves, stir briefly until wilted, then turn off the heat.
- 7 Mix the warm rice into the skillet with the seasoned oncom, stir and gently mash (ditutug) until the oncom is evenly combined with the rice.
- 8 Serve the nasi tutug oncom while still warm with side dishes such as fried chicken, fried tempeh/tofu, salted fish, and fresh raw vegetables.
💡 Tips
• Choose fresh black oncom that doesn't smell sour so your dish turns out more fragrant and savory.
• Grilling the oncom before cooking adds a distinctive smoky aroma, so don't skip this step.
• Adjust the amount of bird's eye chilies to your taste; for a spicier version, you can add green bird's eye chilies.
• Nasi tutug oncom is best enjoyed piping hot with free-range fried chicken and fresh sambal dadak (fresh chili sauce).
