How to Make Ponggol-style Nasi Lemak

Do you have a favourite nasi lemak? We’ve tried countless variations of this beloved classic, and this version is the closest to the iconic Ponggol-style nasi lemak from Singapore! Full recipe: https://themeatmen.sg/recipes/ponggol... What makes the perfect nasi lemak for you? For Jon, it’s all about the RICE, CHILLI, and CHICKEN WING! This nasi lemak leans more towards the Chinese style, so for the wings, we’re using staples like soy sauce and sesame oil in the marinade. Let it soak for an hour, then whip up a simple batter with cornflour, rice flour, and… MSG! 💥 The secret to that ultra-crispy fried chicken? SODA WATER! For the rice, it’s all in the ratio—water, coconut milk, salt, and pandan leaves for that irresistible aroma. As for the sambal, Jon adds hae bie 🦐 that gives it a prawny, umami kick. Making the sambal is the most time-consuming step, but trust the process—it’s worth every minute. Finish off with the usual suspects: fried egg, anchovies, peanuts, and cucumber. #themeatmenchannel #nasilemak #chinesefood ———— Ingredients: Lemak rice: 450g Rice 450g Water 200g Coconut milk 2 tsp Salt 3 Pandan leaves Fried Chicken Wings: 6 Chicken wings 2 tbsp Light soy sauce ½ tsp Sesame oil 1 tsp Salt ½ tsp White pepper 150g Cornflour 50g Rice flour 1 tsp Salt 1 tsp MSG 180ml Soda water Sambal: 2 Red onions 20 Shallots 5 cloves Garlic 300g Dried chilli paste 30g Dried shrimp (rehydrated) 1 cup Oil 40g Brown 60g White sugar (adjust to taste) 1 tbsp Salt (to taste) Toppings: Ikan Bilis and peanuts Cucumbers Fried egg ———— More #SingaporeanFoods:    • Singaporean Recipes - Easy & Authentic Dishes   #Chicken Recipes:    • Chicken Recipes   #FriedChicken Recipes:    • Fried Chicken Recipes   ———— P.S.
