Nasi Lemak is a popular dish in Malaysia. It is traditionally eaten for breakfast, but it can also be had at any time of the day. The rice is cooked in coconut milk, which gives it a rich, creamy texture. It is served with a variety of side dishes, including hard-boiled eggs, fried anchovies, fresh cucumber slices, roasted peanuts, and a spicy sambal sauce. It is often wrapped in banana leaves for added flavor.

Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch from the rice and prevents it from becoming sticky.
Combine the rice, coconut milk, and pandan leaves in a pot. The pandan leaves add a unique flavor to the rice.
Cook the rice over medium heat until it is tender and the liquid has been absorbed. Be sure to stir the rice frequently to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
