Nasi Lemak Rendang
10 mins 4-6 SERVINGS
INGREDIENTS
Beef- 1 pack of Sadia Beef Rendang
- 2 cups basmati rice
- 1 cup coconut cream
- 1½ cups warm water
- 2 pandan leaves, leaves-knotted
- 1 onion, cut into quarters
- 10g belacan, shrimp paste
- 2 tbsp ayam sambal oelek
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 ½ cups ikan bilis
- 1/2 cup oil
- 1 tbsp tamarind water
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tbsp roasted peanuts
- 1 cucumber, sliced
- 1 fried egg
METHOD
- Wash the rice several times under running water until the water is mostly clear. In a rice cooker, combine the rice, coconut cream, water, pandan leaves and salt. Cook for 10 minutes.
- Once cooked, open the lid to fluff the rice, and place it in a bowl. Set aside.
- Prepare the Sadia Beef Rendang based on the packaging instructions. Once cooked, set the beef rendang aside.
- While the beef rendang is cooking, you may start to prepare the sambal ikan bilis. Blend onion, belacan, sambal oelek, and garlic in a food processor until smooth to form a paste.
- Next, heat oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Fry ikan bilis until golden brown then set aside to drain on a paper towel.
- In the same work, fry the earlier paste for 1 minute until fragrant. Next, add tamarind water and sugar, and fry for another minute. Return the ikan bilis to the wok and cook for another 3 minutes.
- Take out the rice from the rice cooker, and portion the rice and beef rendang on a plate. Use a fork to fluff the rice and add the sambal ikan bilis on the side before serving.
- Add the roasted peanuts and cucumber for final touches. Optionally, top with a fried egg for final touches. Serve and enjoy!
