my cravings....again...

The other day I was craving for something..I know, I know..I'm always craving this and that but what to do right? When you can't just buy it from the hawker centre like how we used to do it, we just have to cook it ourselves :P I'm sure alot of us who are away from home must share my cravings for those comfort food once a while, isnt it? ;)

So what do I crave again?....



...Something white,



...something with coconut,




...something with sambal chili...




but its actually something VERY SIMPLE...




YUP, its NASI LEMAK! (the pic was taken quite a while back) hehehe..

the rice is the key thing that i missed :P hehehe..i know the traditional call for pandan leaves but cant find those here, so I just skip that.

Coconut Rice

Ingredients
2 cups of rice
salt (to taste, about 1 tsp)
ginger (1 inch, cut into one whole slice about 7/8 pieces)
1 can (440ml) Coconut milk

Method
1.Wash rice, pour off all water
2.Add coconut milk, salt, ginger
3.Cook rice as per normal

with some chili season anchovies we got from the asian gorceries..some sambal chili left over from the Asia Prima pack hehe with some cucumber and omeletes..there done :P

cheerios and keep smiling!

Hi Winnie

I finally made Nasi Lemak over the weekend. I had some frozen mixed seafood (squid, prawns and crab meat) and used that to make the sambal. That took care of my craving. :)
