Nasi lemuni (Jawi: ناسي لموني) is a rice dish originating from the northern region of Peninsular Malaysia. The dish is prepared with a herb, Vitex trifolia, locally known as lemuni.

Nasi lemuni is consumed in the same manner as the nasi lemak. People would complement the dish with sides and condiments commonly found in nasi lemak e.g. sambal, ayam goreng, dried anchovies, cucumber slices and hard boiled egg. It is commonly eaten during breakfast and lunch, or both.

Health benefits

It's traditionally eaten as a confinement dish as it is believed that vitex trifolia can enhance blood flow, balance hormones, and improve one's digestion.
