How to make Nasi Lemak Rice in a Rice Cooker _ Coconut Rice _ Recipe In Description

So I'm gonna show you how I make a very simple coconut rice in a rice cooker .

Here are all my ingredients .

So before I start assembling the ingredients , I am going to clean with water , four cups of raw rice .

OK ?

So here is my washed rice .

I drained it a couple of times .

And what I'm going to do now is combine the ingredients , which is coconut milk .

I got it from a can some coconut oil which gives it the really rich flavor .

And we also need to have pandan leaves for flavoring in Malaysia .

You can just get it in the garden , but it's really expensive in Australia .

And then I'm gonna pound some ginger and lemon grass that is just basically to get all the juices out .

And then we put some salt and some sugar and don't forget we need to add extra water .

OK ?

So let's just do this now and put in the coconut milk and then I'll put in some coconut oil .

Normally they wouldn't use coconut oil in the stalls .

This is just that it is more healthy apparently compared to normal oil .

So it just gives it a nice sheen that the rice will have later on when you can tell .

And it also tastes more coconut tea , which I really love .

Yeah .

So just two tablespoons up to you of coconut oil .

If you want to put three , that's fine .

So then now what we do is that we are going to twist the pandan leaves and put it in the rice .

OK ?

Try to get it deep in so that all the flavor will be coming out .

OK ?

So then now we put in the sugar and some salt .

So 1.5 teaspoons of salt and two teaspoons of sugar .

So let's pound the ginger .

See just a slice of ginger .

I just want to pound it so we can get all the flavors out .

OK ?

And this is the lemon grass , just pound it OK ?

This is a really big piece of lemon grass .

You can cut it as well .

Um Maybe I should cut it and this one OK ?

So two pieces of lemon grass .

Hm I love the smell of lemon grass .

OK ?

I'm gonna cut this , hide it in between the rice .

Can you see how many flavors are inside this rice ?

OK .

So you will notice that it's actually quite thick now , so we need to dilute this by putting in water .

So we'll add another two rice cups of water .

Yeah .

OK .

So as a rule of thumb , it is up to the first line of your finger , you can put in less water .

But this is how I've been taught how to cook rice .

OK ?

So let's just put it inside the rice pot and then we will just hit cook .

The rice is all ready .

It is currently on warm and it's been sitting in the rice cooker for the last half an hour on warm .

Um If you were to have a look at the rice , can you see all the coconut has come to the top ?

So what we need to do is that we need to mix it all in .

Yeah , just mix it in because now all the coconut is on top .

All the yummy flavors coming out .

Hm .
