🤤 RECIPE: https://www.nyonyacooking.com/recipes/nasi-lemak~BynkuvoPf9-X
Nasi Lemak, the national and traditional dish of Malaysia, is rice cooked in coconut milk and pandan leaves. Also highly popular in Singapore and Brunei.

The meaning of Nasi Lemak is literally “rice” and “fat”. However, the “fat” refers to the creaminess of the coconut milk. Nasi Lemak is a very popular dish that is widely available be it at roadside stalls, markets, food courts in shopping malls or even in 5 stars hotels. It is also sold prepacked at Mamak eateries, too. The fragrance of this dish comes from the rice which is infused with coconut milk.

Nasi lemak is usually accompanied by sambal, fried anchovies, slices of cucumber, fried or hard boiled egg, curry chicken, squids sambal, fried fish or Chicken Rendang. The list could go on according to individual preference. It is actually a wholesome meal by itself and can be taken any time of the day. Of course, do not forget the cup of Teh Tarik recipe to complement it.

As simple as it may seem, the preparation can be quite tedious. Cooking the sambal a day before may shorten the cooking time.

Fry the anchovies until golden brown and lightly fry the peanuts to prevent them from burning. Remove from the pan immediately because the heat from the oil will continue cooking them. On the other hand, if you do not like peanuts, just omit them. It will not affect the deliciousness of this dish.
