Rice, or nasi in Malay, is a staple food in the Malaysian kitchen and is eaten at every meal, either among the Malays, Chinese or Indians. Plain rice accompanies a variety of stews and curries, but there are also more complex rice dishes that stand on their own, such as nasi lemak. Most commonly served for breakfast, nasi lemak is cooked in coconut cream and spices and served wrapped in banana leaves along with small dried anchovies (ikan bilis), roasted or fried peanuts, hard boiled egg, cucumber slices, and a hot spicy sauce (sambal). There are various special rice dishes such as nasi briyani, nasi goreng, nasi tomato, etc.
