Nasi Lemak!

I had some left over coconut milk from the time I made my grandma's spicy tomato soup, so I decided to try and make Nasi Lemak! There was no need to make any sambal since I stumbled across a shop selling sambal olek in Boden, so it was a meal waiting to happen really.

Into a saucepan, I put two small cups of rice with one cup of coconut milk and one and a half cups of water. Then I added half an onion that I had minced up, a slice of ginger and a pinch of salt. Put in on a hot stove till the water boils and then turn down the stove to the lowest setting and let it cook till slightly moist and fluffy. I attempted to make a nais lemak style egg, which I must say made me think fondly about Changi Village.

And of course I needed a side dish, so I just made a spicy kentang goreng which is really just frying boiled potato chunks with curry and chili powder and i stir fried some crabsticks with mushrooms and oyster sauce. I don't think it looks very good, but looks in this case were deceiving, because it was YUMMY!



My housemates Kenza and Lucie are excellent cooks, their dinners always look and smell so good. And they nice enough to let me have some but that just leaves me feeling bad for offering them my food because it's not half as good as theirs :s
