This Butterfly Blue Pea Nasi Lemak with the BEST Sambal recipe is *chef's kiss*

OPEN for ingredients! This is Nasi Lemak, made super pretty with all-natural butterfly blue pea food colouring. Nasi Lemak or Coconut Rice is a favourite dish here in Singapore and Malaysia and is always served with some crunchy fried dried anchovies and peanuts and a delicious, spicy sweet sambal. Of course, the blue pea food colouring is optional - it doesn't actually add taste. Omit for an equally yummy, albeit boring :p, plate of Nasi Lemak.
