~PATIENCE IS VITAL~
THIS IS SO CUTE!
Imagine buying mushrooms with cute babies inside the packagings ;) How awesome!
Enough of my wild imaginations. Let's talk about what happened this morning.
I COOKED NASI LEMAK FOR THE 1ST TIME IN MY LIFE!!! Yup, that is right. FIRST TIME and it turned out great :) Alhamdulillah. And since I have quite a number of International silent blog readers, I would love to share the recipe with all of them here. I hope they'll take some time to try out this simple and famous dish in Malaysia. Basically, you can find NASI LEMAK everywhere in Malaysia. If you ever come to Malaysia, be sure to try some Nasi Lemak, Roti Canai and have some TEH TARIK.
THE COCONUT MILK RICE [NASI LEMAK]
One and half cup of Basmathi Rice
One Cup of Coconut Milk
One and half Cup of Mineral Water
5 Screwpine Leaves [Tied Into A Knot]
One Stalk of Lemon Grass [Bruised]
2cm of Fresh Ginger [sliced]
Fenugreek Seeds [1 pinch]
Put all the above in the rice cooker, click 'ON' and cook as usual.
That's how it'll look when it's done *smiles* Nice, huh?
People in Malaysia usually eat Nasi Lemak with Anchovies Sambal but I made Squid Sambal instead.
Squid [cleaned and sliced finely into rings]
15 Red Chillies - pounded into paste (more or use a few bird's eye chilli if you prefer spicier)
1 Onion - sliced
10 Shallot - sliced and pounded into paste
