My lunch menu today was a plate of boiled rice served with fried chicken, scrambled egg, stir fry okra (okra in Malay is ‘Bendi’), left over ‘kuah masak lemak’ and sambal belacan. This is how almost all Malaysian eat especially the Malay. The idea is everything in one plate and we so called it ‘Nasi Campur’.
Nasi Campur or mixed rice can be easily found in restaurant or roadside stall all over Malaysia. One set of ‘Nasi Campur’ can be priced from RM3.50 to RM 7.50 per plate depends on what you put on your plate.
Living abroad, I am considering my self lucky to have this ‘Nasi Campur’ as my lunch. So to share, below are the ingredients and instructions to follow. Remember, dishes on ‘Nasi Campur’ plate can be anything, not just the one that I am going to share below:
FRIED CHICKEN
Ingredients: 1 Chicken Leg (Cut into 3 pieces), 1 tablespoon of turmeric powder, 1 tablespoon of chili powder, salt to taste.
How to: Marinate chicken with all the ingredients above. Then deep fry marinated chicken for about 15-20 minutes.
SCRAMBLED EGGS
Ingredients: 2 chicken eggs, 1 red chili (finely chopped), ½ onions (finely chopped), salt to taste.
How to: Whisk eggs with chili, onion and salt. Add the egg mixture to the frying pan and cook over medium heat for 30 seconds. Use a wooden spoon to gently scramble the eggs.
