Nasi Kunyit
Ingredients:
- 400gm Glutinous rice
- 1 tsp turmeric powder
- Salt
- 20 white peppercorn
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 6 cloves
- 2 pandan leaves, knotted
- 100ml thick coconut milk

Method:
- Wash and soak glutinous rice in water. Mixed turmeric powder, cinnamon sticks and 1 tablespoon of salt for five hours or more.
- Drain well the soaked rice, then place in a steamer with peppercorns and pandan leaves and steam for 15 minutes.
- Remove the steamer and add 1 teaspoon of salt to the coconut milk before mixing it to the rice. Mix well then steam for another 15-20 minutes. Fluff up the rice and continue steaming for another 15 minutes.
- Remove rice from steamer and set aside to cool.
The result? Mine failed cos I cook them in the rice cooker. Note in mind: STEAM them! No finishing picture too as the photographs turned out VERY unpleasant looking it deem unfit to be posted in jessielingdotcom! At least not to my standard la.

[…] Fyi, this is not cooked by me. I prefered my broth to be rich in red wine and not so dialuted. However, Hokkien family would not miss on the Yellow Festive Rice or Nasi Kunyit which I cooked for the later evening banquet. […]
