I tried many ways to cook nasi lemak like cook with 90% santan, try put different ingredient like ginger onion etc etc, sprinkle many santan after rice cook and mix

All also cannot get strong nasi lemak taste. Usually is smell nice when the smoke come out but taste wise very light same like noirmal rice.

How to get the strong taste like the nasi lemak ppl sell?

pay me...i teach u

u missing daun pandan

i always got put 3 daun and knot

banana leaves. if u steam the rice,put the banana leave on the steamer first

some technique of nasi lemak here

use jasmine rice...or even better use a good grade rice...
and also use "ori" santan...not those instant one

the rice can affect the taste? I use the rice buy fronm tesco

I dun think rice really got that much effect

try it first...and you will know the differents

p/s:
but NOT all la those nasi lemak seller use jasmine rice...
becoz it's expensive

ok i will try. Hope is solution to my problem.

No neeed specific jasmine brand right. As long is fragrant rice can liao?

feel like i hv to ask this question. TS pls tell us how u cook normal rice...

wash the rice

put in rice cooker

put in water until cover the rice about 1-2cm

then close lid and press cook

Ami do it right?

Are you using fresh santan?

hm... u need to know the perfect rice:water ratio for the rice. for malaysian rice normally will be 1 rice: 2 water. for korean and japanese rice, 1:1. maybe you can check the packaging

for me, usually i use 2:3 for rice and santan, the rest just need to add some water. and then 3 pandan leaves, bit of ginger, bit of salt, and half teaspoon of margarine

ya i use frrsh santan all the time but my colleague say maybe not pekat enuff the santan ask me try the supermarket box 1.


I din add margarine/butter. Maybe i shud? Then cna get the taste

haha i even add margarine when cooking normal rice

will it diferent alot?

show me ur recipe and step by step method, then only I can know what went wrong?

i do believe that adding margerin or any oil base ingredient will make the rice less sticky..
why not you search for your best personal taste of nasi lemak...
and ask politely the cook how did they cook it??
