KUIH LAPIS
NASI LEMAK
Nasi Lemak is a fragrant rice dish cooked in coconut milk and pandan leaf and commonly found in Malaysia, where it is considered the national dish. The difference between a good nasi lemak and an exceptionally marvelous nasi lemak lies int the use of pandan leaves. Possessing highly fragrant floral smell, these leaves are used abundantly in Malaysian cuisine to infuse rice dishes or desserts with the signature aroma. The other main ingredient of nasi lemak is dried anchovies or locally call as ikan bilis. As sambal is of the essence when making nasi lemak, it is deserves to be prepared in the traditional way that is with mortar and pestle. Here, I share to all of you the recipes to make nasi lemak.
