Onion, ginger, garlic along with those whole spices and turmeric, chili powder, so much similar to Indian cuisine. Very interesting. I would apply some turmeric and chili powder around the eggs before frying to get that golden red color. Loved this recipe.

Thank you! - Lee

[@lunatrics]

I'm gonna make this dish this weekend. Love this channel man!! Keep um coming

Thank you Chef! Nasi Lemak is one of my favorite Malaysian dish 😋

[@SchoolofWok]

It's ours too! - Lee

[@slaveofthealmighty]

You can clearly see the influence the Malaysians took from Indian cuisine, tempering spices, base of ginger garlic and onion, it’s what we do to make our curries everyday, this looks delicious btw

[@SchoolofWok]

There's a lot of influence from many different types of cuisine in South East Asia! - Lee

Looks great J,I lived in Malaysia for a while and that looks spot on.Now I can give it a go .Cheers.ps Shrimp paste is in every decent Asian supermarket in uk or buy on line it's a must.

[@maskawaih]

I dont really mind your version since accompanied chicken dishes (fried or rendang or curry like yours) are quite common tho I have to point out that coconut rice, sambal, cucumber, fried anchovies, peanuts and egg (boiled or fried) are the basics of what we call as Nasi Lemak.

[@SchoolofWok]

Well we only missed out the ikan bilis, so we're not far off! - Lee

[@crispyatom]

I pretty much followed the recipe and then broiled it for 10 minutes to get deep brown colour, taste wonderful

[@tikus-sq4xi]

Traditionally nasi lemak is served with sambal, fried selar kunning fish, tiny bit crispy anchovies and peanuts. Today they mutated the humble nasi lemak with all sorts of savoury accompaniments. They've destroyed the beauty of nasi lemak. I prefer mine just as i remember through my childhood.

[@jc1157]

Make it yourself if you prefer it that way.These days ppl look for varieties n choices so long as it stil taste like nasi lemak.Old fashioned ones are boring for modern ppl.

[@aimer3042]

@@jc1157 If that's the case any dishes can still go with coconut rice. doesnt need to be curry chicken. There is a reason why it is called "Nasi Lemak". It's like telling the italians your carbonara should add heavy cream. In fact they authentic version doesnt have heavy cream at all.

[@jerryparsons5888]

Would shrimp paste be a good alternative to the malaysian sugar paste? I have some shrimp paste and I’d love to find more uses for it! I love your show!!!!

No one cooks nasi lemak coconut rice with chicken stock.The coconut is rich enough in the rice.

more like "nasi rendang" instead of lemak

[@aimer3042]

The moment when you started to say "nasi lemak is like a buffet of all different types of food which goes with coconut rice" , i knew it isnt the traditional Nasi Lemak more like a bastardized version of it. The authentic Nasi Lemak, be it from Malaysia or Singapore, usually comes with just sambal chilli, a fried fish and ikan bilis with peanuts(anchovies). The idea is more like "Nasi Rendang" to me rather than Nasi Lemak. Anyway you are also not wrong too because in this era, we bastardized a lot of dishes too. Cheers mate but i have no doubt your curry will taste awesome .

I'm not a huge fan of curries, however this one looks really interesting. The deep fried hard boiled egg was a curve ball... Jeremy, with all of the spices in the sauce, does that final addition of salt actually change the flavor much or is it more subtle?

[@SchoolofWok]

This is absolutely delicious, I'd highly recommend it! The salt makes a lot of difference - Lee

[@mrnasilemakcafe908]

You had left out an important ingrediient when cooking the nasi lemak. Where is the pandan leaves? _Chef Owner MR Nasi Lemak Cafe_

[@tikus-sq4xi]

Exactly without pandan leaves, it's not nasi lemak, it's nasi kosong.

Chef from Laksa Leaf Cafe also and I agree with this comment.

[@SchoolofWok]

Now that's a challenge! - Lee

[@quincygovin3728]

Interesting take on a humble Malaysian farmer's staple. Essentially, the stars of this dish are the nasi (rice) and the sambal (chili paste). Screw this up and it ain't nasi lemak. You'd add an egg and cucumbers if you can stretch the budget. And further that with roasted peanuts and fried anchovies. And if you're splurging, that when expensive proteins get introduced - chicken, fish, beef, shrimp etc. Here, you've focused on the chicken curry instead of the sambal. So, the meal is more like coconut rice with chicken curry and not really nasi lemak.

[@hansfordsal]

Exactly, without sambal it's not nasi lemak.

[@cjblackwell372]
