my version of nasi kuning (yellow rice)

this is a traditional yellow rice or nasi kuning in my language. my mom made this during birthdays and its a must even its just a tiny bit of rice.

i made it more tasty by adding more flavour to it.

ing:

- 1 cup ordinary white rice
- 1/2 of white onions.please do not use red onions..its just doesnt fit.
- 4 clove of garlic
- 6 pcs of shallots
- 2 1/2 cups of chicken stock
- 2 salam leaves or bay leaves.
- 2 stick of lemongrass
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp tumeric powder

how to :

- crush the onions , garlic and shallots all together and sautee in an ordinary oil.please do not use extra virgin olive oil , it will ruin the flavour.
- on the same pot , dunk the rice while adding the chicken stock and tumeric powder.
- bruised lemongrass and add to the pot alongside salam leaves.leave it without lid on and stirr occasionally.
- once the stock become reduce , taste the rice , if its still a bit hard , add 1 more cup of chicken stock and add the salt.
- as soon as the stock reduces , kill the heat and straight away move the rice to a rice steamer. and steam away till soft.
- to make it easy , rice cooker will do. same measures.

enjoy...i'll put the condiments for this nasi kuning as soon as possible....
