Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Jasmine rice
- 2.5 cups Water
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 1 Lemongrass stalk
- 500 grams Chicken thigh fillets
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 4 Hard-boiled eggs
- 1 Cucumber, sliced
- 2 Carrots, julienned
- 2 Red chilies, sliced
- 1 cup Peanuts, roasted
- 2 tablespoons Sambal oelek
- 1 cup Fried-shrimp krupuk
Instructions
Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
In a medium-sized pot, combine the rinsed rice, water, and coconut milk. Add the lemongrass stalk by bruising it with the side of a knife and throwing it in the pot.
Bring the rice mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes until the rice is fully cooked and the liquid is absorbed. Set aside.
Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, marinate the chicken with soy sauce and half of the minced garlic for about 15 minutes.
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 7-10 minutes until the chicken is golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
Slice the hard-boiled eggs in half.
In a separate skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the rest of the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
Add the sliced chilies and julienned carrots to the skillet and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until tender-crisp.
Prepare the plate by arranging a serving of coconut rice as the base.
Around the rice, place portions of the cooked chicken, hard-boiled eggs, cucumber slices, stir-fried carrots and chilies, and roasted peanuts.
Serve with sambal oelek on the side and garnish with fried-shrimp krupuk.
Enjoy your Nasi Campur, a delightful mix of flavors and textures!
