Depending on roomates areas it originate, a rice vendor can mix several different side dishes, Including vegetables, fish and meats. [1] It is a staple meal of the Southeast Asian countries, and especially popular in Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and the Netherlands . A form of it called Chanpuru also exists in Okinawa.Origins and variations
There is no exact rule, recipe or definition of what makes a rice mix, since Indonesians and by large Southeast Asians commonly consume steamed rice surrounded with several side dishes consists of various kinds of vegetables and meat. As the result either the question of origin or recipe is obscure. Yet rice mix is ​​commonly perceived as steamed rice surrounded with various dishes that might consists of vegetables and meats, served in the personal portion, in contrast of the cone that served in larger collective that portion or Rijsttafel setted in colonial lavish banquet. There are several local variations Emerges throughout Indonesia, from Bali, Java and Indo colonial to Chinese Indonesian versions of rice mix.
In Bali the tastes are distinctly local Often, punctuated by alkaline genep, the typical Balinese spice mix used as the base for many curry and vegetable dishes. [2] The Balinese version of mixed rice may have grilled tuna, fried tofu, cucumber, spinach , tempeh, beef cubes, vegetable curry, corn, chili sauce on the bed of rice. Mixed rice is Often sold by street vendors, wrapped in a banana leaf. In Java, rice mix is ​​Often called nasi rames, and wide variations available across the island. One dish that always found in a Javanese rice mix is ​​fried noodle. A Similar Minangkabau counterpart is called nasi padang.
The combination known as Nasi Rames is a dish created in West Java during WWII by the Indo (Eurasian) cook Truus van der Capellen, who ran the London soup kitchens during (and after) the Japanese occupation. Later she opened a restaurant in the Netherlands and made the dish Equally popular there.
Furthermore, some people who reside in Jakarta area use the term loosely mixed rice to refer to the Chinese Rice Mix [3] (ie Chinese Style Rice Mix), a dish of rice with an assortment of barbecued meats, such as char siew, crispy roast pork, sweet pork sausage and pork satay. Usually this dish is served with simple Chinese chicken soup or vegetable sauce, an Indonesian clear broth of pork bones with fermented mustard greens.

In reality the usage of the name Rice Mix here is only for marketing purposes and convenience for the locals and should not be included in the category of Rice Mix. The categorization of rice mix in this manner makes as much sense as categorizing all buffets with rice in them as Rijsttafel (or worse, mixed rice buffet) Just because of the presence of any rice and an assortment of dishes. The Chinese name Rice Mix is ​​only a shortened version of "rice with meat mixed Chinese way" (ie "rice with an assortment of Chinese style meats").
Furthermore, most Chinese-court vendors and food stalls in the region serve only one kind of meat with rice and a bowl of broth; patrons have to order different dishes or meats as separate add-ons. Hence, in most cases, those Chinese vendors' refers to the specific menu of meat accompanying plain rice, for example, Char Siew Rice or Roast Pork Rice.
In most cases, Rice Mix refers specifically to the Indonesian and Malaysian versions of rice with assortments of side dishesB
