When it come to rice, I mean steamed rice, I would include on my daily basis diet with proper portion in order not missing out on some essential minerals required for good health. It is often believed by common myth that eating rice daily, can lead to belly fat and build unhealthy fat in the body, but if you consumed in right quantities, it's nothing to worry about.
Being an Indonesian, rice has been one of the most consumed staples on my diets, eating delicious Indonesian food with some variety side dishes along with sambal, it wouldn’t complete without rice.
Instead of having regular steamed rice, here I will share some of personal recipe, homemade lemongrass rice with kaffir lime leaf, easy to make at home using a rice cooker
NASI SERAI
Ingredients
1 ½ cups premium jasmine rice
1/3 cup water
3 stalks lemongrass, lightly brush with any kitchen tool to release the flavour.
3 kaffir lime leaves, wash clean, torn
Himalayan salt to taste
You need a rice cooker
Direction
Run the tap water, while the water is running, stir the rice and rinse the rice nicely until it comes clear. Drain as much water as you can.
Drop in lemongrass and kaffir lime leaves, try to push down until it covered with the rice. Season with salt
Place the pot into the rice cooker. Cover it, plug the cooker in, and press the switch to turn it on. Let the electric rice cooker works and the rice will cook at the same time. The switch will click, like a toaster when the rice is done
When the rice perfectly cooked, allow the rice to rest in the rice cooker for about 10 minutes before opening the lid.
Serves with preferable side dishes
