Ingredients
- 300 g jasmine rice
- 1 tsp turmeric powder
- 400 ml coconut milk
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 250 g fried chicken
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 100 g tempeh, sliced and fried
- 50 g roasted peanuts
- 100 g sambal, to taste
- 1 banana leaf, for serving
Steps
Rinse 300 g of jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch, which helps achieve a fluffy texture.
In a pot, combine the rinsed rice, 400 ml of coconut milk, 1 tsp turmeric powder, and 1 tsp salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat for approximately 5-7 minutes.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the rice is cooked and all liquid is absorbed.
While the rice cooks, heat 1 tbsp of vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes and scramble the beaten eggs until fully cooked, then set aside.
When the rice is done, fluff it with a fork and let it cool for about 5 minutes before molding it into a cone shape.
On a banana leaf, place the rice cone at the center and artfully arrange the fried chicken, scrambled eggs, fried tempeh, roasted peanuts, and sambal around it.
Why this works
Jasmine rice combined with coconut milk and turmeric creates a yellow color and adds moisture. Rinsing the rice removes excess starch to prevent stickiness. If the rice is dry, add more coconut milk and steam for an additional 5 minutes. The presentation involves surrounding the rice cone with diverse side dishes, enhancing visual appeal. The technique ensures the rice is fluffy, reflecting Indonesia's culinary traditions.
