How To Cook A Simple 'Nasi Lemak'


Farouk has been requesting that i would cook for him 'Nasi Lemak' someday. As everybody knows, cooking is not my cup of tea but as time goes by, bit by bit, i would say that i have learned few recipes and skills that i found interesting and worth it to try on and  it was 2 weeks ago when i cooked my first 'Nasi Lemak'.

Here is the recipe :-

Ingredients / Method

'Nasi' (Rice)
2 pcs of big onions (Chopped)
1 pc of garlic
6 slices of ginger
6 cups of rice
3 cups of coconut milk
41/2 cups of water
Tad bit of salt

Pour all the coconut milk into the rice pot follow by some water.

Add a little bit of salt and put the ginger slices in between the rice.

Cook the rice as usual.

'Sambal' (Condiment)
1 pc of big onion (Chopped)
3 cloves of garlic
A handful of dried anchovies (To be soaked with water)
1 packed of chilli paste
Tad bit of salt
Tad bit of shrimp paste
Tad bit of oil (Preferably olive oil)
1 cup of water

Heat your non-stick pan and pour the oil onto the pan.

Wait for 2-3 minutes and fry the mixture of onion and garlic together until you can smell the fragrance.

Then add 6 spoons of chilli paste and some salt  and shrimp paste to the mixture and cook it well.

Fry the dried anchovies in a different pan until they are cooked and crunchy. 

After the mixture is ready, pour the cooked anchovies onto the pan.

Add the water bit by bit when it is necessary until the condiment is cooked.
