Nasi Lemak Preparation Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Rice

   Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well.

2. 2

   Cook the Rice

   In a pot, combine the rinsed rice, coconut milk, pandan leaves, water, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 20 minutes or until the rice is cooked and fluffy.

3. 3

   Prepare the Eggs

   While the rice cooks, place eggs in a small pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, turn off the heat and let the eggs sit in hot water for about 10-12 minutes. Peel and set aside.

4. 4

   Prepare the Peanuts and Anchovies

   In a dry skillet, toast the peanuts over medium heat until golden and fragrant. Remove and set aside. In the same skillet, fry the anchovies until crispy.

5. 5

   Slice the Cucumber

   Wash the cucumber and slice it into thin rounds.

6. 6

   Serve

   Once the rice is ready, fluff it with a fork. Serve a portion of rice on a plate with sliced cucumber, boiled eggs, toasted peanuts, crispy anchovies, and sambal sauce on the side.
