'''''Kuning''''', also spelled '''''koning''''', '''''kyuning''''', or '''''kiyuning''''' and Anglicized as '''yellow rice''' or '''turmeric rice''', is a Filipino rice dish cooked with turmeric, lemongrass, salt, bay leaves, and other spices to taste. It originates from the island of Mindanao and is a staple food among the Maranao people of Lanao del Sur. It is related to the Indonesian ''nasi kuning'' of neighboring Sulawesi, but it does not use coconut milk. The dish is characteristically yellow because of the use of turmeric (''kalawag'' in Maranao, and ''kunig'' or ''luyang dilaw'' in most other 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 |language=en}}</ref>
