Nasi Lemak


Rice:

Ingredients:

  •  2 cups of rice (Although we used basmati you can opt to use brown rice)
  • 3- 3 1/2 cups water
  • 1 1/2 inch ginger, sliced
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2-3 Tbs virgin coconut oil (cold pressed is healthiest)

Method:

  1. Cook 2 cups of rice as you wish
  2. Once cooked, stir in the coconut oil according to your taste.

Sambal Ikan Bilis:

Ingredients:

  • 10 shallots
  • 15 dried chillies (use more if you like it super spicy)
  • 5 garlic cloves
  • 1 inch of tamarind (assam jawa) with 1 cup of hot water
  • 4-5 tsp raw organic brown sugar
  • 2 Tbs coconut oil
  • Water
  • Cooked ikan bilis

Method:

  1. Bake chillies in oven until fragrant for 5mins at 180C. In a blender, blend chillies with shallots and garlic.
  2. Fry mixture in a wok with oil until the oil separates or the chilli mixture gets a little crispy. Add in sugar.
  3. Add in about 1 cup water and let simmer. Keep adding water until you get the right spiciness. After 30-45 minutes add tamarind water. Cook until the sambal turns a slightly darker red. Add in the cooked ikan bilis.
