Description

Nasi kuning is rice flavoured with coconut milk, turmeric and other herbs, giving the rice a bright yellow colour. It is eaten with other dishes, and is served in restaurants as well as in ritual dishes.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 300 gr jasmine rice, washed thoroughly
  • 150 ml water
  • 0.5 tsp turmeric powder
  • Salt to taste
  • 65 ml coconut milk
  • 2 thin slices galangal
  • 1 small lemongrass, use only the white part. Light bruised, knotted.
  • 2 Indonesian bay leaves (daun salam)
  • 1 pandan leaves, cut into 3 

Instructions

  1. Put the rice in the rice cooker pot and add the water.
  2. Add the salt and turmeric powder, stir until it is well mixed.
  3. Add the coconut milk. Stir well.
  4. Add the galangal, lemongrass, bay leaves and the pandan leaves. Stir well.

    Add the ingredients and stir well

  5. Cook the rice in the rice cooker.
  6. When done, do not open the lid immediately. Let the rice sit for another 5 minutes to set.
  7. When ready, fluff the rice and serve immediately, or shape the rice into a cone using a cone mould.

Notes

  • When shaping the rice into a cone using a cone mould, compress the rice every time you scoop it to the mould. That way the rice cone will be compact and will not crumble when you turn it over and take off the mould.
