Jane's homemade healthy nasi lemak 健康椰浆饭

Nasi Lemak is the Malaysian most favourites food. I can say that most of the Malaysian love nasi lemak to serve as their breakfast or lunch or dinner.


It was raining out there again and can't go out to buy food. So I look into the fridge, found no more vegetables to cook. But I still have a lot of Ikan Bilis (dried anchovies) and some blended chili paste. I always put a pack of Ikan bilis for making soup. What to cook? I just cook the simplest Nasi Lemak as my dinner.

I didn't put any coconut milk into the rice. I feel plain rice is more healthier and the rice not plain at all but full of pandan leaves and lemon grass fragrant once it is cooked.
