Nasi lemak is considered the national dish of Malaysia and is a popular Malay breakfast food. Its name in Malay literally means “fat rice” because its preparation makes it rich and creamy. It consists of fragrant rice cooked in coconut milk with pandan leaves, lemon grass, ginger, and other spices. Nasi lemak is usually served with a hard-boiled egg, fried anchovies, sambal paste, and roasted peanuts.
