With roots in Malay culture, it's name a Malay word that literally means "rice in cream". The name is derived from the cooking process whereby rice is soaked in rich coconut cream and the mixture steamed. Sometimes knotted screwpine(pandan) leaves are thrown into the rice while streamy to give it more fragrance. Spices such as ginger (common in Malay cuisine) and accasionally herbs like lemon grass may be added for additional fragrance.
Traditionally, this comes as a platter with cucumber slices, small dried anchovies (ikan bilis), roasted peanuts,stick fried waterconvolvulus(kangkong),hard boiled egg,pickled vegetables(achar) and hot spicy sauce (sambal). Nasi lemak can also come with any other accompaniments such as chicken, cuttlefish, cockle,beef curry(beef stewed in coconut milk and spices) or paru(beeflungs). Traditionally most of these accompaniments are spicy in nature...
