Description

Malaysian Coconut Milk Rice, also known as Nasi Lemak, is a traditional Malaysian dish made with fragrant rice cooked in coconut milk and pandan leaves. It is usually served with various side dishes such as fried chicken, sambal, cucumber, and roasted peanuts. This dish is a staple in Malaysia and is enjoyed by locals and tourists alike.

Prep Time

The prep time for this recipe is approximately 10 minutes.

Cook Time

The cook time for this recipe is approximately 20-25 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups of jasmine rice
  • 1 can of coconut milk (13.5 oz)
  • 1 1/2 cups of water
  • 2 pandan leaves
  • 1 tsp of salt

Equipment

  • Rice cooker or pot with lid
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Kitchen scissors (if using pandan leaves)

Method

  1. Rinse the jasmine rice until the water runs clear.
  2. In a rice cooker or pot, combine the rice, coconut milk, water, pandan leaves, and salt.
  3. Give everything a good stir to make sure the salt is dissolved and the pandan leaves are distributed throughout the rice.
  4. If using a rice cooker, simply press the button and wait for it to cook. If using a pot, bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes.
  5. Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and remove the pandan leaves. Serve hot with your desired side dishes.

Notes

  • If pandan leaves are not available, you can substitute with 1 tsp of pandan extract.
  • For a richer flavor, you can use 2 cans of coconut milk instead of 1 can of coconut milk and 1 1/2 cups of water.
  • If you don't have a rice cooker or pot, you can also use a pressure cooker or instant pot.
