Nasi Lemak (Coconut Milk and Pandan Rice)
Ingredients
serves 4-8
2 cups of long grain rice (I used white jasmine, but suggest basmati instead -see note below. Traditionally, though, it's made with broken local rice which is dry and light)
1 cup THICK coconut milk, preferably fresh
2 cups water (plus minus. for me, it's more like 1 2/3 cups. depends on age/type of rice- adjust according to the ratios you normally use, but you'll want to replace about 1/3 of the water with coconut milk)
6 pandan leaves, loosely tied into knots
generous pinch of unrefined sea salt
