Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup fresh coconut milk
1 cup uncooked white rice
½ cup water
1 slice ginger
2 pandan leaves, or more to taste
1 pinch salt
4 fresh red chile peppers
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, or as needed
1 large onion, chopped
½ cup anchovy fillets, or more to taste
½ cup finely chopped peanuts, or more to taste
4 hard-boiled eggs, halved lengthwise
1 cucumber, peeled and sliced

Steps:

The nasi lemak was horrible. The rice was overcooked and the sambal was inedible.
