2. Can its origin be traced back to Spain, to Latin
America? To arroz amarillo, Spanish for yellow
rice? A stapleof Hispanic households, from Cuba
to Colombia. Or does it bear a tinge of Indonesian
influence, judging from its name? Is it somehow
related to the festivenasi kuning? The dish is nasi,
Indonesian for rice, cooked in coconut milk with
garlic, shallots, and curry leaves. Turmeric is
added to lend a festive color — kuning, which
means yellow in Indonesian. The yellow rice is
piled pompously high in a towering heap on a
platter, reserved for special occasions.

3. But java rice isn’t made with gata. Java rice
is day-old cooked rice that’s fried in achuete
oil with garlic and shallots. The achuete
oil bleeds onto the rice, dressing the grains
with its stunning yellow-orange hue. Java rice,
with its garlic flavor and hints of sweetness
from the fried shallots, pairs perfectly with
Filipino-stylegrilled chicken or pork barbeque
skewers. One is inseparable from the other, in
my book. And so, is java rice Indonesian? Is it
Spanish? Java rice is Filipino. It is a fusion of
ideas and ingredients, which makes Filipino
cuisine Filipino.
