Nasi Kuning (Indonesian Turmeric Coconut Rice)

Ingredients

• •2 cups jasmine rice
• •1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
• •1 1/2 cups water
• •1 tsp ground turmeric
• •1 pandan leaf, knotted
• •1 lemongrass stalk, bruised
• •1 tsp salt
• •3 eggs
• •1 tbsp vegetable oil
• •1 cucumber, sliced
• •1/2 cup roasted peanuts
• •1/3 cup fried shallots

Directions

1. 1Rinse the jasmine rice until the water runs mostly clear, then drain well.
2. 2Combine rice, coconut milk, water, turmeric, pandan, lemongrass, and salt in a saucepan.
3. 3Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat, and cook for 18 minutes.
4. 4Beat the eggs and cook a thin omelette in vegetable oil, then roll and slice it.
5. 5Rest the cooked rice covered for 5 minutes, then remove the pandan and lemongrass.
6. 6Fluff the nasi kuning and serve with omelette, cucumber, peanuts, and fried shallots.

💡 Let the rice rest before fluffing; the steam finishes the grains and keeps the coconut rice from turning sticky.
