'''''Kuning''''', also spelled '''''koning''''', '''''kyuning''''', or '''''kiyuning''''' and Anglicized as '''yellow rice''' or '''turmeric rice''', is a [Filipino](/source/Filipino_cuisine) rice dish cooked with [turmeric](/source/turmeric), [lemongrass](/source/lemongrass), [salt](/source/salt), [bay leaves](/source/bay_leaves), and other spices to taste. It originates from the island of [Mindanao](/source/Mindanao) and is a staple food among the [Maranao people](/source/Maranao_people) of [Lanao del Sur](/source/Lanao_del_Sur). It is related to the [Indonesian](/source/Indonesian_cuisine) ''[nasi kuning](/source/nasi_kuning)'' of neighboring [Sulawesi](/source/Sulawesi), but it does not use [coconut milk](/source/coconut_milk). The dish is characteristically yellow because of the use of turmeric (''kalawag'' in [Maranao](/source/Maranao_language), and ''kunig'' or ''luyang dilaw'' in most other [Philippine languages](/source/Philippine_languages)).<ref name="Balistoy">{{cite web |last1=Balistoy |first1=Ruby Leonora R. |title=Pagana Maranao—fostering culture of peace |url=https://pia.gov.ph/news/articles/1010947 |website=Philippine Information Agency |access-date=March 5, 2019}}</ref><ref name="Abdulwahab">{{cite web |last1=Abdulwahab |first1=Nabeelah T. |title=The Beauty, Warmth, and Hospitality of Pagana |url=https://ichcourier.ichcap.org/article/the-beauty-warmth-and-hospitality-of-pagana/ |website=Intangible Cultural Heritage Courier of Asia and the Pacific |publisher=International Information and Networking Centre for Intangible Cultural Heritage in the Asia-Pacific Region (ICHCAP) |access-date=March 5, 2019 |archive-date=March 6, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190306043038/https://ichcourier.ichcap.org/article/the-beauty-warmth-and-hospitality-of-pagana/ |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Turmeric "Kuning" Rice |url=http://mymaranaorecipes.blogspot.com/2016/10/turmeric-kuning-rice.html |website=Maranao Recipes |date=October 4, 2016 |access-date=March 5, 2019}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last=Lanto |first=Macabangkit B. |date=June 1, 2017 |title=Historic Marawi ravaged |url=https://opinion.inquirer.net/104443/historic-marawi-ravaged |access-date=May 9, 2023 |work=[Philippine Daily Inquirer](/source/Philippine_Daily_Inquirer) |language=en}}</ref>
