Lemon grass Rice

Living on a busy schedule - even on Sundays- has definately changed the way i prepare meals. This version of lemon grass rice only requires a few ingredients and a few minutes to prepare. I prefer to use jasmine fragrance rice as it tastes better with this recipe.

 

Ingredients:

3 cups of jasmine fragrance rice

3 lemon grass (smash/bruise the stalks with the back of yr cleaver)

a handful of coriander leaves (chopped)

1 tbsp ghee

1/4 cup of cooking oil

1tsp sea salt

1 big red onion & 5 shallots ( slice thinly, fry till golden & crispy)

 

Method:

1. Heat oil & ghee in a pot and fry lemon grass till fragrance.

2. Pour in rice and water (measured according to the volume of rice).

3. Put in sea salt & taste ( it should taste slightly salty)

4. Cook the rice with medium heat / in a rice cooker till done.

5. Once done - sprinkle chopped coriander and fried crispy onions & shallots.

6. Serve hot with dry squid sweet fried sambal, omelette and slices cucumber.
