Yummy sambal udang ! if you are a chili lover, I'm sure you will be salivate after seeing this photo, hahaha!!
I have not posted the exact ingredients and measurement for coconut rice so far, it was due to I still trying the perfect fluffy, tender and separate grains coconut rice using a electric rice cooker. But I have came out with a good coconut rice (nasi lemak) recipe after numerous testing, do check out below.
A) Sambal Udang (Chili shrimps)
Ingredients
500g shrimps (medium), retain tail
2 big onions, sliced
2tbsp tamarind paste, add 6tbsp water, remove seeds, to become tamarind water
2-3 tbsp chilli paste (I use homemade chilli paste)
Pound to paste
1” galangal (blue ginger)
6 cloves garlic
6 shallots
Seasonings
½ tsp salt or taste
2tbsp sugar
Method
1. Heat some oil in a wok, add in pounded shallot paste, stir fried till fragrant.
2. Add in chilli paste, stir fried for a while.
3. Add in shrimps, stir fry till cooked. Add in tamarind water and onion slices, (add more water if too dry), mix well.
3. Add in seasoning and dish out, serve with Nasi Lemak (steamed coconut rice).
My note: if you did not use homemade chili paste (which cook for long hour), you need to stir fry (step 2) for longer time, maybe not less than 30mins.
B) Nasi Lemak (coconut rice)
4cups rice (I use Thai fragrant rice)
150ml coconut milk
550ml water
5pcs pandan leaves (screwpine leaves)
1 and 1/2 tsp salt or to taste
1” ginger, shredded
Method
1. Place washed rice, salt and knotted pandan leaves in an electric rice cooker.
2. Pour coconut milk, water,ginger and salt over the rice and leave to soak for 30mins (make it more fluffy).
3. Cook the rice.Once “cooking” button auto switched to “keep warm” button. Then fluff the rice with a fork or chopsticks.
4. Leave it warm in the rice cooker before serve.
Happy Cooking !!

I like it..
给我多多sambal
So long didn't cook nasi lemak liao. Maybe will cook it this weekend.....aiyo hungry after looking at the tasty nasi lemak photos!
Simply mouthwatering!
So yummy. Everyone's favourite.
looks yummy and delicious, makes me hungry.
Hi there,
Your ingredient (B) stated 1" ginger sliced, but u didn't mention when to put it for use?
Why need 30 minutes to soak the rice with coconut milk? Is it to make it more fluffy or ?? Pls explain, thx.
For the prawn curry, I'll use the ready rempah paste from TEAN'S Gourmet "Sambal Tumis" which my son brought back from M'sia, cos its too much work to prepare. For the ikan bilis, I can substitute it with the ones imported from The Philippines, available from the chinese toko in ChinaTown.
You make me miss nasi lemak so so much. Your ikan bilis look soooo good. I love!! And the Sambal udang - so yummy!!
Sonia...I am hungry just looking at the Sambal Udang and the nasi lemak...our all time favourite! Thanks for sharing your recipe :)
home made sambal prawns with big prawns, outside we only can get tiny weeny prwans :P
What to say! This Sambal Udang looks absolutely tempting! Who can resist this nasi lemak? I like it!
Yes, I am salivating now at everything as I like nasi lemak. Just wondering, won't the coconut milk turn oily if it is put too early? I did it once and needless to say, my nasi lemak failed *sob*
dear all, I appreciate all your comments.
Anonymous, i have corrected the recipe.
HK Choo, 30mins is still ok, ya, like you said, do not put too long. Anyway, sometime I did not wait for 30mins, it taste good too.
oh mine!! your nasi lemak look so delicious!! few days ago I also cooked nasi lemak but I still prefer yours!! your rice look great!hehehe!!
gasp! u put the plate on grass ?
I don't find it surprising when your sons are now officially nasi lemak lovers, too! HAHA!
Funny enough, though, I've never craved for nasi lemak ... even if I'm Malaysian. (Shame on me ... HAHA!) I do eat the national dish, but I just don't crave for it! =S
But, Ｉ do believe I'd help myself to the sambal udang. HAHA! I love hot foods!
Beautifully done.
Thanks for the tip on making nasi lemak fluffier. I shall have to remember to soak my rice 30 minutes before cooking.
hey, hey the sambal udang looks gorgeous. Love dishes like this and you're making me crave so much for it.
Hi Sonia, I cooked the rice today for my husband's family and they love it! I used the whole can of coconut milk (400ml) plus 300ml water as I want to finish the whole can of coconut milk. I also added one stalk of lemongrass. The whole kitchen smells very fragrant while the rice was cooking~❤
Thanks for the precise measurements for the rice and liquid :)
oh, I will never ever get tired of Nasi Lemak regardless what version are they. I love it please share more :)
I also love nasi lemak especially the chilli.
May I know the cup is the standard cup or do you use the rice cup that came with the rice cooker ?
Anonymous, I use normal rice cup that came with rice cooker.
Can I steam the rice instead of using rice cooker? If yes, need to steam how long? TQ
I made both sambal udang and nasi lemak using the recipes and both turned out really well so thanks!
Great Article :)
Thank you for the recipe
I will try to cook
Hi Sonia,
I have tried your nasi lemak and sambal tumis.
Posted on my blog and link back to Nasi Lemak Lover already.
Thank you for sharing the recipes. Already bookmarked your other recipes, sometime will try them too.
Thanks again
Hi,
As for your 4 cup measurement for rice, did you mean a standard 250ml cup? If so, how come it only needs 700ml of liquid to cook?
Doesn't the standard rule of 1cup rice to 2 cups liquid apply here?
Hsu Lin Boyd, the cup is refer to rice cup (come with rice cooker).
