Types of coconut milk rice

"Coconut paste rice" is often reported in Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and other places, especially in Riau and Jambi in Jambi province, and the giant port in East Sumatra, known locally as Nasi Gemuk. After verification, Nasi Gemuk is slightly different from Nasi Lemak, that is, Nasi Gemuk heats the oil first, and then fries the onion, garlic, ginger and citronella. Pour the rice soaked for 30 minutes back into the frying pan, add coconut juice, banyan leaves and salt, and fry for 65,438+05 minutes until it boils back to low heat to collect juice.
