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?

i always got put 3 daun and knot

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

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

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

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?

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

will it diferent alot?

I already found!!

Thats the one that make me really 1 to cook myself. The texture good and have rich nasi lemak taste. The ikan bilis also very crunchy and very nice to eat. Unfortunately i ask about the ikan bilis before and the shop person dont wanna teach. Nasi lemak sure lagi dun teach

Added on February 14, 2012, 4:52 pmI tried many method before not just one. Basically got 2 style i try la:

First type with 50% santan:

Wash rice in cold water and drain. Soak in coconut milk (1 half cup) for 10 minutes.

Pour 2 tsp of oil in the rice cooker, add the rice and let the oil coat the rice.

Now add water (1 half cup).

Add sliced ginger and red onions. Then add pandan leaf and lemongrass.

Cook rice in rice cooker until soft for about 30 minutes.


Second type with alot santan:

Wash rice until clean then drain. Put rice, shallots, ginger, fenugreek and salt in a rice cooker. Pour coconut milk over the rice. (The level of the coconut milk should be 2cm above the level of the rice.) Cook rice until dry then use a wooden ladle to loosen the grains.

Sprinkle the rest of the coconut milk over the rice. Give it a stir with a pair of chopsticks to distribute the milk evenly. Stand for 10 to 15 minutes to allow the rice to absorb the coconut milk. Keep rice warm before serving with other condiments.



Both method also taste the same lol

Ya budakdegilz also sugested this. Although a bit doubt the rice can make difference but i will try buy small packet of Jasmine super 5.


You mean after add margerin then your rice become dry? Is it good sign if rice is dry?

Something new.. Wat the reason for cook without lid?

imma try with expensive fragrant rice soon

Tried yesterday with fragrant rice still canot work.

Maybe rice cannot absorb santan taste before cook then need cook rice before add santan?

Picture looks nice. Recipe seem like those i tried except u use briyani rice. Is expensive will actually increase the taste?

Also about squeeze santan, i can just buy from market right? Is very dificult to squeeze self.

You use 90% santan and only little water to cook?
