Easy Lemang (sarawak)



Traditional lemang is made by stuffing glutinous rice inside a bamboo stick and cook over a open fire for a few hours until cooked. When we are aboard this is not possible. This is a short cut method in making lemang fast and easy. Whenever I cook some curry, I would made some using some of the leftover coconut juice.


Ingredients.
230g glutinous rice, soaked for 2-3 hours
½ tsp salt
250ml thin coconut milk (from ½ grated coconut)
Banana leaf
Aluminum



Method
Steam glutinous rice for15 minutes. Sprinkle rice with the coconut milk every five minutes, using a fork to mix it in properly.
Place a piece of banana leaf on a top of large sheet of aluminum foil. Spoon rice on banana leaf and press rice tightly together
Roll up rice with the banana leaf and foil into a cylindrical roll. Grill in oven for 10 minutes and serve with rending or serunding.

Butter Milk Buns- 奶油包

Butter Milk Buns are very popular in Malaysia and Brunei. When I tried to look for it in Perth, I could find any. I guessed this must be another Malaysian creation. This is my 2nd attempt with the fillings. The first filling recipes which I copied from a US website was totally useless and a failure. This time I used the recipe from a Brunei friend. It was a success. The Bun dough recipe was from Kuala Terengganu, a specialty over there. The Bun was very soft even after it cooled down. The butter milk was very nice as well. Two of the fillings in my buns burst during baking but that was because I did not cover up the dough well and it leaked out. Rest of the Buns were perfect. *makes 11pcs of medium size Buns Gelatinised dough 50g bread flour 35ml hot boiling water 1.
