1 Step 1: Ready the coconut rice, sambal, hard-boiled eggs and red curry or rendang (links to recipes are in the ingredients section).2 Step 2: For the anchovies and peanuts, start by pouring oil into a medium saucepan or wok until at least 2 inches deep, then heat it up to about 350°F (177°C).3 Step 3: Add the anchovies into the oil, and let it deep-fry for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove the anchovies and drain them on paper towels.4 Step 4: Then in the same oil, add in the peanuts and fry for 3-5 minutes, until lightly browned, then drain them on paper towels as well.5 Step 5: To assemble, fill a small bowl with the coconut rice, flip it onto a plate and remove the bowl to form a rice mound. If using banana leaves for presentation, you can first line the plate with a banana leaf segment. If you want to be especially traditional, you can serve the rice directly on a double-layered rectangular segment of banana leaf lined with wax paper or newspaper underneath and skip having to wash plates!6 Step 6: Arrange the fried anchovies, peanuts, hard-boiled egg, and sliced cucumbers around the rice, alongside a spoonful of sambal on the side.7 Step 7: For the ultimate meal, serve with a side of red curry (recipe here) or rendang (recipe here) or both! These curries can be served in a small bowl.getsaucepan.com/r/1a8489d0-e976-42fb-97be-61c367e61c14 · Original: https://www.homiah.com/blogs/recipe/nasi-lemak?srsltid=AYCX9vJisKxjDq-uGWCx8Fr5gm108IFWO-Bl5JkONIoYV3d23q8lf44q
