Pandan Coconut Milk Rice

I was so fascinated when I saw a youtuber was having a plate of pandan nasi lemak aka coconut milk rice. I am a big fan of pandan. I like any food with pandan flavour, especially sweet dessets.

The green colour, soft and fluffy rice grain instantly captured my heart. I was drooling away when I saw the food clip, and I knew I needed to make a plate of pandan nasi lemak. A plate of nasi lemak is pretty simple to make, especially when using the rice cooker. All you need are rice, coconut milk, salt and water. The pandan extract is just something extra for pandan flavour and colouring.

Ingredients
2 cups white rice
400ml coconut milk
1/2 tsp pandan extract
a pinch of salt
some water

Directions
1. Rinse and drain the rice. Place the drained rice in the rice cooker.
2. Add coconut milk, salt and pandan extract.
3. Add in additional water until it reaches the 2-cup mark shown in the rice cooker. (The amount of water required varies according to the type of rice cooker you are using. Please follow the measurement guidelines of your rice cooker).
4. Switch on the rice cooker and cook the rice.
5. Fluff up the rice and serve it hot with your favourite side dishes.

Nasi lemak is best to enjoy with sambal, as side dish. Check out my luxurious version of nasi lemak, with the best in town sambal shrimps and acar aka pickled carrot, pineapple and cucumber.
