never owned a rice cooker... listened and went out and bought a rice cooker. super easy, perfect rice. made 2 cups of rice and popped it in the fridge. made fried rice the next day and wow, what a difference. the rice was perfect! thanks!!! best fried rice i've ever made!
Man I love this channel. In a world full of people always pretending to be something else is nice to see genuine people like aunty Liz and Peanut allergy guy.
Every time I come to London I make a point of visiting the Borough Market... get some spices at Spice Mountain, do a little shopping, have a bite to eat... and I never knew you where there before getting addicted to Nigel's Uncle Roger videos... My wife and I still have a couple of tickets for the Eurostar train we've been holding on to for over a year now (pandemic and all), but next time we're there, we're going to make a point of coming by and having some of your tasty, tasty food... The only downside is... I'm also peanut allergy guy... :'( I love eating and cooking Thai, Viet, Indonesian food etc., but being allergic to peanuts and cashew nuts doesn't exactly make things easy... Anyway, I'll be sure to check out Mei Mei as soon as we're allowed to come!
@@helpfulcommenter "i use wok with fire like you're supposed to" seems like the correct answer. We have this ersatz flat-bottomed stainless steel "wok" that my wife got decades ago before we were married, but IMO it is not a wok. It is a weird trapezoidal pan.
Her team makes the best nasi lemak fact! I know as I ate her last weekend. Crispy crispy well seasoned chicken breast, rice is soft, dried salty anchovies, peanuts, the best sambal which isn't too spicy, egg cooked perfectly not snotty haha 😅, cool cucumbers. So many textures. And so filling. For the price it's a bargain 👌. Seats are limited but I waited till someone left as I wanted to enjoy seated and I was lucky on a busy hot Saturday lol xx gutted I am in Leeds and can't go often. I was sad I never got to see Liz!! Kept looking around. I am sure the staff thought I'm creepy staring haha xx ❤ I was just fangirling that i was actually finally there 😂😅
I have to say Auntie Liz is a naturally serious and meticulous person and peanut allergy guy is the funny one. haha Though in terms of swag and technique in slicing, cooking, combining ingredients, Auntie Liz is in a whole new different level. Michelin star material. BTW, I love your nasi lemak video tutorial where Auntie Liz is with black hair. That time her personality shines. Came here because of Uncle Roger weijous. Your channel deserve more subscribers. Hope this explodes soon. Fuiyooooooohhhh.
I recommend my ingredients for making nasi lemak rice 1:coconut 2: blended 5pieces of shallot 3 clove of garlic n half inch ginger 3.1spoon sugar n half spoon of salt 4. Water Preparations 300ml white rice 300ml coconut 350ml water U can put it all together at once and don't forget to stir
Chaokoh is my trusted brand of coconut milk when I lived in the UK. The other brand not as good to recreate Malaysian dish. This is one of the best you can get unless you squeeze them yourself. I like the taste and its consistency Made Ayam masak lemak and Nasi lemak for International Food day at uni and for some friends over my house before.
My mum doesn't squeeze coconut milk /santan anymore due to arthritis, but she doesn't like store bought coconut milk. So she use the blender to milk the santan out of the coconut shavings.
@@beruangsinar1033 does it work well to obtain the milk with blender? Lots of Malaysian brand has good coconut milk but you get more and cheaper if you squeeze it yourself. Plus the hampas can be used for something else
I put coconut milk, ginger, red onion and pandan leaf for the rice... Its not only gave the aroma but also the flavor from the ginger... And indeed it was good even it is my first time making it 😋❤️❤️
This your Uncle Ang Moh. Well done Auntie Liz! Nasi lemak si beh simple dish, but so many chef add too much stuffs to try make gor-may and end up with chef looking gor-blok! All you need is coconut rice, sambal, ikan bilis, kacang, and telur goreng. I think Uncle Roger see this and say "Fuiyo!". Your Uncle Ang Moh say "Three-fifteen one". 10万 subs by the end of this month- nearly 97,000 orleady! And remember what your uncle say: lim peh ka li kong, or you kena hantam upside down. Den you know!
I am from Malaysia. Just eat nasi lemak yestarday bought from makcik (auntie in malay) hawker on the side of the road. Makcik's nasi lemak is always the best 😋
I am Malaysian Chinese. I love how you love my country traditional foods and feel proud to it! And I am learning how to cook Nasi Lemak from a British beauty in this video.
Nasik Lemak was a dish I never cared for growing up as a kid because I didn't develop the taste for anchovies or sambal belachan. After having visited Malaysia and Singapore as an adult now, it's the dish I miss the most. Thankfully, a couple places where I live (in Canada) make Nasi Lemak and it's one of my (new) favourite comfort dishes. The places here serve it with fried chicken, though chicken curry or beef rendang would also be da bomb.
In my rice cooker the inside pan was so thin it was like a soda can. The non-stick must be one atom thick. I was afraid the fancy plastic rice spoon that came with the cooker would scratch it, or just poke a hole right through the side of the inner pan. So weak! So weak!!! This was a good japanese-made one too, which was sort of expensive and had happy pink flowers painted on the outside. It was about 15 years old so it didn't sing any music beeps, just made clunk-clunk noise with magnetic button.
Yeah, I'm asian, been cooking rice for 30 years, and this is the first time I hear about this ! MIND.BLOWN ! My poor rice cooker ! I've used you wrong my whole life !
Absolutely love nasi lemak with beef rendang. I could have the worst day ever, but someone gives me that and a heaping bowl of beef rendang, my day instantly gets better.
I can guarantee the rice would be very creamy with that amount of coconut milk, to add more fragrant to the rice you can simply add ginger and to achieve a fluffy texture of rice you can steam the rice instead of using rice cooker. Usually sambal on nasi lemak doesn't have belacan( shrimp paste) and totally optional. Overall I'm impressed with the recipe coming from Singaporean :)
My Nasi Lemak game: - just basic, really. Sambal, ikan bilis, boiled egg, peanuts, cucumber. The rice is rich and aromatic enough that it doesn't really need much more. Maybe a bit of fried fish or piece of fried chicken if I want more protein. Now what I _really_ love is Nasi Kerabu, which is an herbed rice with lemongrass, torch ginger (bunga kantan), kaffir lime leaves, and four angle beans. It goes really well with Malaysian chicken curry, vegetable curry or beef rendang.
Kaffir lime leaves has been renamed makrut lime leaves for 'reasons'. Just in case people can no longer find kaffir lime leaves in their market in the future.
@@araisikewai Well, 'makrut' in Thailand can refer to both the kaffir lime as well as the bergamot (a very different fruit). There are also a lot of regional names for the fruit and its leaves in South East Asia, cf 'limau purut' (bumpy lime) in Malay, or 'Arrow Leaf Lime' in Chinese. The use of 'kaffir lime' in the UK and its former colonies came from Ceylon, and probably has very little etymology in common with the use of the word as a racist slur in South Africa. I don't think there is any connotation with racism with the term in the UK, if anything, the word is only ever used to describe the lime, and a typical Englishman off the street would not have guessed that it has any meaning on its own other than to denote said lime. So I don't think there is any stigma over the term in the Commonwealth; I'd be curious to know if keyboard warriors there were also trying to change the name.
When i cook coconut rice using can or box coconut milk i put little bit of vegetable oil...not olive oil..then when it cooks the coconut rice will not clump...we here put pandan leaves a bit of ginger, and shallots for the aroma...and of course using the rice cooker is a Must
Loving the editing and you getting increasingly more comfortable in front of the camera - not that you wasn't before but definitely noticed an improvement in this video. Keep up the great work.
Auntie Liz: with Uncle Roger and whole of Malaysia watching.... Me, Malaysian Indian and a fan of both Auntie liz and uncle Roger: *scratches chin* hmmmm you are correct. *My judgemental mom who was raised in making proper malay style nasi lemak watches* Her nasi lemak method is good. Needs more sambal. Also me: exactly! I need EXTRA SAMBAL!
tips to level up the taste of the nasi lemak.. put your nasi, sambal, cucumber, anchovies, peanut, half of the boiled egg on the banana leaf.. wrap it.. and let it for an hour... you can add that crispy bottom fried egg or anything else when you wanna eat it..
Pro tips: the reason put a little bit of oil is to ensure the rice is not glumpy(berderai in malay). Its much better in texture during presentation and eating.
I think the moment I was most impressed in my life was when a white college aged man made me some perfectly cooked rice in a pot!!! I was so ready to have some damp or burnt rice that night but it was delicious!
I would say both are lucky. It isn't easy to work with your partner and finding that balance, the humor and turn that into something people enjoy watching, all while 1 of the two does part of her normal job, is a humongous achievement and testament to a very solid relationship.
Rice cooker is a magic tool. Only primitive don’t use rice cooker. What amazed me is Auntie Liz has the ‘Asian blood’ in her when preparing these delicacies.
The sambal is absolutely the most essential part of the nasi lemak, nowadays theres a lotta sweet version which i really dislike.... I miss the Original version where its fragrant, salty, spicy and full of umami flavour
"oh no another cooking channel" this does hit different then all the other fancy cooking channels where they show a clean (aesthetically) kitchen and it feels kinda disingenuous the wok looks like it sees use, i like that the layout of kitchen reminds me the layout of kitchens of real restaurants ive worked in, not just the look but the vibe as well very very good video
I brought a Tiger ih - made in japan rice cooker a while back and it has been one of the best purchases I've ever made - with its induction heating it cooks the most awesomest rice every time and truly worth its higher cost,,, cheers from Australia x
This looks delicious. I hope to visit London soon so I can eat at Mei Mei. You know… Brazilians eat rice every single day, twice a day most of the days, and we use a saucepan to make it. In a matter of fact, most people have what they call a “rice pan” (panela de arroz), that is, their preferred pan for cooking rice.
@@player2-lightwater914 Very much! It is not a proper meal without rice. I suppose Brazil is not a top consumer of rice per capita because, while you MUST have rice in every meal (lunch and dinner), we don't just eat a big bowl of rice. The standard meal in Brazil is rice, beans, meat (beef, pork, or chicken) and something else like salad, fries, or a cooked vegetable. As Brazilians get richer, they eat more junk food, replacing the traditional rice and beans with pizza and burgers. And there are the health freaks who eat salads and fish or chicken everyday. But rice and beans is still the staple food of the Brazilian working man.
@@hazriqawadz956 We have rice cookers, but there's rice cooker rice and good rice. Good rice must be toasted first. When I want good rice, I toast the rice then I put in the rice cooker, and it is very good rice. But now I have two pots to wash...
Honestly that looks kinda authentic. Loved that she used the pink plastic plate common in hawker centers below the banana leaf. What’s missing is: Boss teh ais kurang manis satu
I've never heard the don't wash your rice in the rice cooker bowl before, it makes sense though. Yum Asia do great Zojirushi style cookers (induction, lots of programmes etc.) But with UK power and a little cheaper. Have you ever tried using Kewra water instead of the fresh leaves? The water does smell a lot like pandan leaves (which makes sense).
Liz, for my guests who cannot eat spicy food, I've made sambal with tomato paste & sundried tomatoes and it works just as well. Add a splash of lime juice so the taste of the sambal comes out sour and sweet. The acid works great to complement the richness of the rice. Nasi Lemak also goes exceptionally well with a gooey French omelette (heresy, I know!) and fried chicken. For those sticklers on detail: add 1:1 ratio of liquid to rice. The finger method is very common but if your pot has a really wide base, then you're going to add too much water and your rice comes out mushy. If you'd like to add more aroma to the rice, I highly recommend adding 1 tsp of minced ginger, if you're cooking about 2 cups of rice. Note: coconut rice must be eaten the same day as it'll dry out overnight. Not as tasty.
😂😂I love the fact that uncle Roger is irked by your representation of Singapore dishes. That's for standing your ground & showcasing the glory of the dish not it's murky origins. Bless you ❣️
@@MagiCaster001 referring to website, it comes from these 2 languages (sinhala & tamil) Pol sambola (sinhala), or thenkai sambal (tamil), is a traditional Sri Lankan dish made from coconut, mostly used as an accompaniment with rice, string hoppers, hoppers and curries. It is a coconut relish, consisting of freshly grated coconut, shallots, dried whole chilies, lime juice, salt and Maldive fish. Wikipedia Place of origin: Sri Lanka Alternative names: Pol sambol, thengai sambal, coconut sambol Main ingredients: coconut, red onion, chillies, salt, lime/lemon Serving temperature: Room temperature
love from India we use pressure cooker and we have to baby sit the cooker a Little untill the whistles blows three times. I am going to have to look for sambal recepie untill you reach 100k
that level up picture is like.....oh gosh. i miss eating out. ini barulah best gila. my typical order for nasi lemak is....a lot of sambal, egg, cucumber = no meat lol. im absolutely a sucker for rice + sambal combo. Can't never stop the late-night packed food (kg baru i miss you). Sigh, here's wishing with all Msians for the MCO to end.
If you want a crazy aroma out of the lot, be sure that the rice is still hot before placing on the banana leaf. Add on some ginger strips into the rice cooker will add more oompph too. Sambal should not be sugary sweet nor too hot. Some other add ons are fried mackerel in turmeric paste, spicy beef lungs and dried squid sambal.

Tell that to Alex. He's on a journey to find the perfect rice
That's the way . It's like reinventing wheels when you try to cook it in sauce pan .

Is THAT why my rice cooker has all those tiny scratches in it??? Mind blown
Dude, you need to remove your jewelry before you wash the rice with your hands as well...

In my rice cooker the inside pan was so thin it was like a soda can. The non-stick must be one atom thick. I was afraid the fancy plastic rice spoon that came with the cooker would scratch it, or just poke a hole right through the side of the inner pan.

Crispy egg. Perfect. I’ve never seen this anywhere in the world. You’re as good as a Malaysian. Connoisseur of good food. :-)
My wife says she's never ate so much rice before marrying me. I must be doing something right.

Rice better than potatoes and wheat bread.

Loving the editing and you getting increasingly more comfortable in front of the camera - not that you wasn't before but definitely noticed an improvement in this video. Keep up the great work.
Auntie Liz: with Uncle Roger and whole of Malaysia watching....
Me, Malaysian Indian and a fan of both Auntie liz and uncle Roger: *scratches chin* hmmmm you are correct.
*My judgemental mom who was raised in making proper malay style nasi lemak watches* Her nasi lemak method is good. Needs more sambal.
Also me: exactly! I need EXTRA SAMBAL!
If i ever travel to england again.. i am dropping by Aunty Liz’s restaurant… awesomeness Aunty Liz 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼. Hello 👋🏽 From 🇲🇾
tips to level up the taste of the nasi lemak.. put your nasi, sambal, cucumber, anchovies, peanut, half of the boiled egg on the banana leaf.. wrap it.. and let it for an hour... you can add that crispy bottom fried egg or anything else when you wanna eat it..
Agreed, and always leave a little chimney at the top so it doesn’t go soggy. Tastes amazing with banana leaf infused.
LOVING your new video style, characterisation, and production! Keep it up!
(... oh and the cooking is good too)
Why auntie liz so beautifull 🥰😍
Legit Malaysian nasi lemak, would be happier to see sambal sotong as side dishes. Roger’s Malaysian nephew approved
should see how Malaysian elevate the nasi lemak , where they put ginger, lemongrass, star anise, cinnamon, coconut milk, oil & salt
Or as Joanne Kam would say, it shoyld have the ayam sambal, sotong sambal, telur rebus
You are from the north isn't it 😜?
wouldn't it have similar taste with biryani then?
Correcto mundo. Ginger must not forget.
Pro tips: the reason put a little bit of oil is to ensure the rice is not glumpy(berderai in malay). Its much better in texture during presentation and eating.
I think the moment I was most impressed in my life was when a white college aged man made me some perfectly cooked rice in a pot!!! I was so ready to have some damp or burnt rice that night but it was delicious!
Her husband is the luckiest guy in the world. Despite his allergy. She has amazing cooking skills, she is witty, pretty and beautiful.
I would say both are lucky. It isn't easy to work with your partner and finding that balance, the humor and turn that into something people enjoy watching, all while 1 of the two does part of her normal job, is a humongous achievement and testament to a very solid relationship.
Rice cooker is a magic tool. Only primitive don’t use rice cooker. What amazed me is Auntie Liz has the ‘Asian blood’ in her when preparing these delicacies.
The sambal is absolutely the most essential part of the nasi lemak, nowadays theres a lotta sweet version which i really dislike.... I miss the Original version where its fragrant, salty, spicy and full of umami flavour
I am from malaysia & u just make makanan yang enak so that other country could taste our delicious traditional food love from 🇲🇾
"oh no another cooking channel"
this does hit different then all the other fancy cooking channels where they show a clean (aesthetically) kitchen and it feels kinda disingenuous
the wok looks like it sees use, i like that
the layout of kitchen reminds me the layout of kitchens of real restaurants ive worked in, not just the look but the vibe as well
very very good video
it is her restaurant after all
I brought a Tiger ih - made in japan rice cooker a while back and it has been one of the best purchases I've ever made - with its induction heating it cooks the most awesomest rice every time and truly worth its higher cost,,, cheers from Australia x
This looks delicious. I hope to visit London soon so I can eat at Mei Mei.
You know… Brazilians eat rice every single day, twice a day most of the days, and we use a saucepan to make it. In a matter of fact, most people have what they call a “rice pan” (panela de arroz), that is, their preferred pan for cooking rice.
Yes, but Asians use rice cooker.
Time to export rice cooker to South America
Is rice a staple food in Brazil?
@@player2-lightwater914 Very much! It is not a proper meal without rice. I suppose Brazil is not a top consumer of rice per capita because, while you MUST have rice in every meal (lunch and dinner), we don't just eat a big bowl of rice. The standard meal in Brazil is rice, beans, meat (beef, pork, or chicken) and something else like salad, fries, or a cooked vegetable. As Brazilians get richer, they eat more junk food, replacing the traditional rice and beans with pizza and burgers. And there are the health freaks who eat salads and fish or chicken everyday. But rice and beans is still the staple food of the Brazilian working man.
@@hazriqawadz956 We have rice cookers, but there's rice cooker rice and good rice. Good rice must be toasted first. When I want good rice, I toast the rice then I put in the rice cooker, and it is very good rice. But now I have two pots to wash...
Honestly that looks kinda authentic. Loved that she used the pink plastic plate common in hawker centers below the banana leaf. What’s missing is: Boss teh ais kurang manis satu
I've never heard the don't wash your rice in the rice cooker bowl before, it makes sense though. Yum Asia do great Zojirushi style cookers (induction, lots of programmes etc.) But with UK power and a little cheaper.
Have you ever tried using Kewra water instead of the fresh leaves? The water does smell a lot like pandan leaves (which makes sense).
Kewra is an extract distilled from pandan flowers.. 🙂
actually u can use rice cooker and wash in it. but for nasi lemak, it is wise to wash it seperately then u put it in. that way much better.
i'm a simple man. i see auntie Liz weejio i smack the like button like my parents smack me in my childhood.
A+ cooking attire, lol. Looks really good though, I think I'll try it.
Liz, for my guests who cannot eat spicy food, I've made sambal with tomato paste & sundried tomatoes and it works just as well. Add a splash of lime juice so the taste of the sambal comes out sour and sweet. The acid works great to complement the richness of the rice.
Nasi Lemak also goes exceptionally well with a gooey French omelette (heresy, I know!) and fried chicken.
For those sticklers on detail: add 1:1 ratio of liquid to rice.
The finger method is very common but if your pot has a really wide base, then you're going to add too much water and your rice comes out mushy.
If you'd like to add more aroma to the rice, I highly recommend adding 1 tsp of minced ginger, if you're cooking about 2 cups of rice.
Note: coconut rice must be eaten the same day as it'll dry out overnight. Not as tasty.
My wife likes the ikan kuning or curry chicken to go with her nasi lemak the most (Singaporean wife)
Ikan kuning is the most fav dish in here.
From east indonesia 🇲🇨🙏
I think you dont want to mess with aunty liz!!
Awesome video
Ahh! Auntie Liz has acquired skill: Finger check the water level
Yo... the sacred technique
😂😂I love the fact that uncle Roger is irked by your representation of Singapore dishes. That's for standing your ground & showcasing the glory of the dish not it's murky origins. Bless you ❣️
"Some don't want peanuts in their sambola"
Uncle Roger: *Why So WEAK, WHY SO WEAK* *?*
sambola?
Sambal

love from India
we use pressure cooker and we have to baby sit the cooker a Little untill the whistles blows three times.
I am going to have to look for sambal recepie untill you reach 100k
The one I wanted to learn is the sambal!
that level up picture is like.....oh gosh. i miss eating out. ini barulah best gila.
my typical order for nasi lemak is....a lot of sambal, egg, cucumber = no meat lol. im absolutely a sucker for rice + sambal combo. Can't never stop the late-night packed food (kg baru i miss you). Sigh, here's wishing with all Msians for the MCO to end.
Already subscribed! Love from Malaysia.
Liz tips for you add a table spoon cooking oil. Either peanut oil or vegetable oil. Your rice will be fluffy.
There is another additional side dish for Nasi Lemak: Kangkung tumis Goreng. Only at some places in malaysia add this side dish to their nasi lemak.
That's the good stuff man 10/10
Melaka ☺
Nasi Lemak never fails to satisfy. One of the most delicious comfort food.....
Peanut allergy guy:show us how to cook rice in a saucepan
Aunty Liz:I'm feeding you peanuts for dinner today take that
If you want a crazy aroma out of the lot, be sure that the rice is still hot before placing on the banana leaf. Add on some ginger strips into the rice cooker will add more oompph too. Sambal should not be sugary sweet nor too hot. Some other add ons are fried mackerel in turmeric paste, spicy beef lungs and dried squid sambal.
I blowtorches the banana leaf before plating to warm the leaf up and release that aroma and the rice was piping hot! Great suggestions though
