Nasi Lemak

This dish is a very popular breakfast meal in malaysia. Traditionally the rice and accompaniments are wrapped in banana leaves
and the accompaniments are simple with just Sambal Ikan bilis, hard boil egg/fried egg strips and slices of cucumber.

My elder sister was asking me for recipes. She recently shifted to her own place in Sengkang and wanted to try out cooking again since she's lost touch
I emailed her one of the Simplest recipes. Nasi Lemak!


All you need is

Basmati Rice, coconut milk and screwpine leaves(pandan leaves)

Sambal paste(Dried red chillies soaked in warm water, some ginger and onions all blended)
Then cooked over a high flame with some sugar and salt

Accompaniments
Egg strips
Fried Chicken
1 cucumber, sliced
Fried peanuts


I made it over the weekend too but instead of fried chicken, i tried chicken kebabs with tofu cubes and capscium on a stick.
I marinated them and then grilled them in the oven.
Healthy and tasty at the same time :)
