Mum’s Nasi Lemak

April 26, 2019 by Asian Inspirations Admin Leave a Comment

To Cook Rice
Coconut rice – Wash and rinse rice. Add the coconut milk, water and a pinch of salt. Add the ginger, salt, pandan leaves into the rice cooker and set it to cook.

To Make Tamarind Juice
Soak the tamarind pulp in water for 5-10 minutes. Squeeze the tamarind to extract the flavour into the water. Drain the pulp and save the tamarind juice.

To Cook Sambal Ikan Bilis
Rinse the ikan bilis and let it dry. Fry them until they turn light brown and separate them into two plates as you will need some to make the sambal ikan bilis and another portion to serve fried ikan billis.
In a blender or mortar and pestle, blend or pound the toasted belacan together with shallots, garlic, and dried chillies. Set aside.
Heat some oil in a pan and add in the onion rings until fragrant. Stir in the spice paste and fry until fragrant. Add in the ikan billis and stir well. Add tamarind juice, salt, and sugar. Simmer on low heat until the gravy thickens. Set aside.

To Serve
Optional: Place banana leaf on to the plate before plating up the rice.
Plate up the coconut rice and scoop some sambal ikan billis on top of the rice. Serve with cucumber slices, fried ikan billis, toasted peanuts and hard boiled eggs.

Tip
After rinsing, pat dry the ikan bilis with a kitchen paper towel, and spread out onto a plate. Place the ikan bilis in a microwave oven for 1 min on high. Give this a toss to mix, then repeat until the fish is dry. This will result in a crispier ikan bilis.
If using a food processor to grind the paste, adding some oil to the shallots, garlic and chillies can help these ingredients to blend easily. Do not add water, this will affect the quality and taste of the sambal.
Immediately plunging hard boiled eggs from the boiling water into an ice bath will prevent a grey layer from forming around the yolk.

To Make Sushi Bears
For each sushi bear, scoop ⅓ of the rice into the bear onigiri mould, close the lid and shake well until the bear shape is formed. Place the sushi bear on a plate.
For the ears, use a bubble tea straw to press onto the sliced cheese to create a circle. Then use a toothpick to remove the cheese from the straw. Repeat once to make two circles.
With a normal straw, press on the edge of the cheese circle to create a crescent shape. Use a toothpick to spread some mayonnaise as glue on the cheese and place onto the bear’s ears.
For the face, use a pair of scissors to cut an oval shape from the cheese, place onto the bottom part of the bear’s face.
For the nose, use a normal straw to press onto the sliced ham to create a circle. Alternatively, cut out a circle from nori sheet as the nose. With a tweezer, pick up the ham and dip a little mayonnaise on the back and stick onto the top position of the oval cheese.
For the eyes, use a panda nori puncher to punch the nori sheet. Keep the panda eyes and discard rests. Alternatively, use scissors to cut the nori sheet. With a tweezer, pick up a nori eye and dip a little mayonnaise at the back, place onto the sushi bear. Repeat for the other eye.
For the mouth, use a smiley nori puncher to punch the nori sheet. Keep the smile and discard the rests. (Alternatively, use scissors to cut the nori sheet.) With a tweezer, pick up the smile and dip a little mayonnaise at the back, place the smile underneath the nose. You can play with different positions and angles to create different look!
