    Ingredients

    • 2 cups of uncooked jasmine rice
    • 2 cups of coconut milk
    • 1 teaspoon of salt
    • 2 tablespoons of white sugar
    • 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder
    • 1 teaspoon of ground ginger
    • 1/2 teaspoon of ground cardamom
    • 1/2 teaspoon of ground cumin
    • 1/4 teaspoon of ground coriander
    • 4 tablespoons of vegetable oil
    • 1/4 teaspoon of ground coriander
    • 1 cup of dried anchovies
    • 1/4 cup of roasted peanuts
    • 1 cucumber, sliced
    • 1 hard-boiled egg, sliced
    • Chili sauce, to taste

    Method

    • To prepare Nasi Lemak, begin by washing the jasmine rice in a colander until the water runs clear.
    • Place the rice in a saucepan and add the coconut milk, salt, sugar, turmeric, ginger, cardamom, cumin, and coriander. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce the heat to low, and cover the pot. Simmer for 15 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed.
    • Once the rice is cooked, heat the vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat.
    • Add the anchovies and cook for 1-2 minutes until they are lightly browned. Add the peanuts and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until they are lightly toasted.
    • To assemble the dish, place the cooked rice in a serving bowl and top with the anchovies, peanuts, cucumber slices, and hard-boiled egg. Drizzle with chili sauce and serve.
