Chef Kyo Pang of the NYC restaurant Kopitiam makes the beloved national dish of Malaysia: nasi lemak. A product of multiple ethnic cuisines within Malaysia, nasi lemak starts with a paste of shallots, garlic, dried anchovies. Next, Chef Kyo blends dried and fresh chilis, shrimp paste, tamarind paste, mixes everything together, and fries it all in oil. Then, Chef Kyo makes coconut rice with jasmine rice, pandan leaves, and coconut milk. Finally, she completes the dish with fried peanuts, fried anchovies, 7-minute eggs, homemade sambal paste, and cucumber slices. Check out the recipe here: www.vice.com/en_us/article/ev...

i lived in malaysia for 5years for studies. First 2/3years, whenever i saw Nasi lemak ( usually comes in a banana leaf packet ) i used to have a feeling that i would throwup .. finally, one day i tried it out of hunger, very early in the morning. since then until i left i could never eat enough of it. I used to buy anything that says nasi lemak, even from Mcd , restaurants burgers, nasi lemak ayam ( chicken ) .. nasi lemak sotong ( squid ).. most delicious food ever, if i have to eat one dish , i could eat it and never get bored.. right now, came to watch this video, nd trying to have courage to make this dish..

Malaysia is a multiracial country and Malaysian may not agree with each other about a lot of things but one thing they can agree for sure is nasi lemak. Everyone love nasi lemak in Malaysia.

Trust me its da bomb but the most important part of the nasi lemak is all about the rice and the sambal (75% rice) ( 25%sambal) a good nasi lemak must have a very fragrant and mellow smell and taste to it, what it smells like is what it should taste like ( and must not be too herby or less herby and will be perfect) and the rice must be just a tad bit softer than al dente in texture and its must be in separated bits and must not be clumpy nor too soggy or sticky or even too soft and squishy the sambal must have a balance of sweetness,spiciness,umamimess and saltiness but the sambal MUST not be too sweet or else it will not be a *real sambal*

Though there is such a thing as sambal Ikan bilis (sambal with fried dried anchovies - what was made here), nasi lemak features the sambal and the anchovies as separate elements within the dish, not cooked together. Also for those who don't know nasi lemak, you need to have the smelly fermented shrimp paste and the tamarind in the chilli, without which you are not making the correct chilli for nasi lemak.

Americanized Nasi Lemak, it’s cool still. Need more exposure on Malaysian food. Feel the need to point out that despite Singapore “winning” the street food battle, they can’t touch our diversity. Mee Kolok and Laksa Sarawak from Sarawak, Sata, otak-otak and Nasi Dagang from Terengganu, Nasi Kerabu from Kelantan. You guys can’t touch us on purely the food level.

It’s more like a nyonya version of it…
