Nasi padang, sometimes called Padang rice, is a Minangkabau dish of steamed rice served with a choice of various pre-cooked dishes, originating from West Sumatra, Indonesia, and named after the city of Padang, the province's capital. Described as a miniature banquet of meats, fish, vegetables and spicy sambals eaten with plain white rice, it is considered Sumatra's most famous culinary export and the Minangkabau people's primary contribution to Indonesian cuisine.
