@horrixius This will serve 6 people as a small side. If you want to play it safe go ahead and make 1.5 cups rice and adjust the ingredients. Thanks for watching!
Does this rice come out sweet? The coconut milk I have is unsweetened but I would like a sweet taste for the rice. Do you recommend I add sugar, If so how much? I look forward to making this dish, ive known about it for quite some time. This is my go to channel for cooking, I love it keep up the good work!!
@MegaMrsStyle Hi there! I would add a TBS of sugar to make this sweeter. That would be fine! Thank you so much for your support! I really, really appreciate it!
@MegaMrsStyle The Rice isnt supposed to be sweet however you will taste the coconut in the rice, I love serving mine with Pumpkin Curry or Potatoe Curry. mmmm yummy. However If I was to make mine sweet I would not serve with my entre more like a dessert or a appitizerer but that just me :D
@luvablelyd Yay! I am so happy this worked for you! You can get a text version. Go to the website and search for the recipe on the left hand side. When you find it, click on it and you will find a link to the printed version at the bottom. Thank you for trying this out!
in malaysia or singapore, we call this as 'nasi lemak' (creamy rice/coconut rice) and it would be signature dish for breakfast... the basic way to eat this would be with chili paste(try find 'sambal tumis'), fried anchovies, fried nuts, cucumber, n hard boiled eggs... it also good with curry and any other dishes... for more fragrant taste n smell, try put in some sliced ginger, shallots, n pandan leaf when u cook the rice...
Hey, you are making "Nasi Lemak"! It is a Malay/Malaysian dish, usually cooked with coconut cream, and usually very little water were put in. Usually it is steamed or boiled the same way as you did and normally few screwpine leaves were added to add more fragrances. This dish usually will be served with "Sambal" (Cooked chili paste with seafood of any varieties in it, it can be prawns, crabs and even chicken.), fried anchovies and groundnuts, cucumber slices and served on a banana leaf. XD
@acmulhern Thank you for coming by! I often cook my rice in stock. It gives it a great flavor. This is a nice change of flavor for any tropical dish you might want to create. Have a fantastic weekend!
@AphoticOndy Although I know I should . . . honestly, I don't. Unless I have bought it by the pound, from an open heap of rice - like in the market in Bolivia - I usually don't rinse my rice. Thank you very much for coming by! Have an amazing weekend!
@pastryparrot1 I dont either for most of my rice recipes.. I was just curious because some recipes call for removing the excess starch.. but yummy- thanks again for the videos :)
Finally get some relaxing time to watch video's... I had not realized how busy I was this past month with fund raising for charity! Good to see your video's again, nice look you got going on!
@JimboJitsu Fund raising for charity is the ultimate great deed - CONGRATS! We all need to learn a little from you! Thanks Jimbo! I hope you have an incredible weekend!
This looks like such a great recipe! I love your videos, and you're always so sweet! :)
