Nasi Lemak. Rice cooked with coconut milk. A Malaysian favourite for breakfast, lunch, tea, dinner and supper. Comes in a variety of dishes or just plain. For the simplest nasi lemak you will get the rice, a few slices of cucumber, 1/8 of hard-boiled egg, sambal and deep-fried peanuts with maybe about 3-4pieces of anchovies wrapped in a banana leaf and old newspaper. We call that version, Nasi Lemak Bungkus, literally means wrapped nasi lemak.
This is my recipe for nasi lemak. I will come back for the sambal sotong (squid sambal) recipe. ok?
Nasi Lemak
serves 2
1 cup rice
1/4 onion, thinly cubed
1-in ginger, thinly sliced
1 cup water
3/4 cup coconut milk
Salt and sugar to taste
1 tblsp oil
1 pandan leaf (optional)
1. Wash and rinse the rice. Put it aside.
2. In a pot, heat up the oil, sauteed onion and ginger.
3. Add in the rice with water and cocount milk.
4. Add in salt and sugar. Stir and taste.
5. If you have the pandan leaf, tie it into a knot and put into the pot. Let it boil.
6. Once boiled, cover and simmer for 25min.

Beautiful! Now I'm inspired to make nasi lemak for my bento sometime this week!
dear ur recipe is great, but to make it nicer can add one lemongrass (diketuk) dan secubit halba or in english fanugreek. it will turn out extremely yummylicous..
Thanks Mia Mia. I actually lupa nama halba tu so nak beli pun tak boleh sbb tak tau nama. lol. Now dah tau and baru hari tu nampak at my friend's house. Next time will add some too.
