Nasi Dagang / Trader's Rice - (Mff - Terengganu)

Table of Contents

This is the tertiary calendar month of Malaysian Food Fest (MFF) together with it is the calendar month of Terengganu.

Nasi Dagang is the rice specialty inwards Terengganu. Since it is a specialty, I'm gonna replicate this every bit my 1st submission to MFF for Terengganu month.

I never been to Terengganu before. I loooong wanted to larn Redang Island, only I don't bring the peril yet. Since I never been to Terengganu before, obviously, I never gustation the real nasi dagang before. So, I did to a greater extent than or less read-ups online together with and thence I took upward the courage to create this. The pregnant of Dagang inwards malay agency Trading. According to Terengganu Tourism, traders inwards the olden days pack along the rice spell they move for their trading activities. This is likely why the rice is called trader's rice.

The dish is supposed to create it inwards a steaming method. But I didn't. I did it using my mighty rice cooker.

Ingredient (Serves four adults)
(Reference Source: Nor Zalina's Pondering, Wendyinkk  together with Terengganu Tourism alongside tyke changes)

• 400g Fragrant Rice (Jasmine Rice)
• 100g Glutinous Rice
• 5 Shallots, thinly sliced
• 1 pollex sized Ginger, thinly julienned
• 1tbsp Fenugreek (aka 葫芦巴 inwards Chinese, aka halba inwards Malay)
• 200ml Coconut Milk
• 250ml Water
• 1 tsp Salt
• ½ tsp Sugar

I did tyke changes on the water volume because they used steaming method, which requires soaking rice for v hours, together with the steaming purpose sounds tiring to me. So, I did it inwards a brusque cutting way. I entirely soak my sticky rice for 2 hours, soaked my fragrant rice for thirty minutes, together with I larn it done using my rice cooker, which is much easier. Result is good also.  So, don't worry :)

Method

1. Wash together with soak sticky rice for 90 mins, then, launder together with add together inwards fragrant rice, soak both rice together for to a greater extent than or less other 30mins.
2. Wash and prepare the ginger together with shallot. Rinse fenugreek together with laid aside.  
3. Transfer rice into rice cooker, add together inwards 200ml kokosnoot milk together with 250ml H2O together with allow the rice cooker create the balance of the work.
4. Once the rice is cooked, transfer the rice into a big bowl, or a salad bowl that is big plenty for you lot to toss the rice. Add inwards fenugreek, ginger, shallots, tabular array salt together with sugar. Toss to combine.
5. Transfer the tossed rice dorsum into the rice cooker, allow it remain inwards at that spot occur warm for to a greater extent than or less other 30mins earlier serving.
6. Serve nasi dagang with gulai ikan tongkol (Spicy Curry Tuna) together with pickled vegetables.

NOTE :

1. If you lot experience that your rice is non soft plenty (which I don't shout out back so), splash some H2O inwards spell you lot toss your rice.

2. Use a spatula together with a long chopstick to create the tossing. Do non press the rice during tossing, try not to interruption the rice granules.

This is 1 of the good known cuisine inwards Terengganu. If you've been at that spot earlier together with you lot never had this before, then, you lot should elbow grease cooking this at home.

As I mentioned, Nasi Dagang commonly eaten alongside Gulai Ikan Tongkol (Spicy curry tuna), together with pickled vegetables. They are the the perfect pairing :)

Max together with my woman raise inwards police pull dear the rice! It's chewy together with bouncy due to the beingness of sticky rice. The ginger, shallot together with fenugreek gives the usual deadening coconut rice a whole new pleasant fragrancy! 

If non for MFF, I don't shout out back I volition elbow grease recreate this recipe at home. I'm glad that I did it. You should too! :)

I am submitting this to Lena of Frozen Wings.
