Nasi Lemak (Rice Cooked in Coconut Milk) Nasi Lemak (Rice Cooked in Coconut Milk)
This rice is a staple in Malay breakfasts. Try pairing it with your favorite side dishes! This is generally made with Thai fragrant rice but if you don't have any, use long-stored rice if you have some. Don't cook this using new rice.My husband loves this!Since this rice has coconut milk in it, do not store it in the rice cooker. If you have leftovers, freeze them or put them in the fridge, then just heat it in the microwave before serving.Check outfor more information on pandan leaves. Recipe by ichimai cookpad.japan -

Indonesian Nasi Kuning Indonesian Nasi Kuning
I made this using a cookbook I bought in Indonesia! The actual recipe called for lemon grass, but since my family doesn't like it, we substituted them with pandan leaves!Use fresh ingredients if at all possible; it will make the dish very aromatic Since the amount of coconut milk is adjusted with water, it doesn't have to be exact! Just use however much you have Add the salt either before cooking the rice or after. Recipe by Mama fio cookpad.japan -
