Home cooked Lemang or we call them, Indoor lemang… no bamboo, fire wood, & smoke…. but the taste is good. For sure, we still able to make the grill effect on the lemang even we prepare and cook the lemang indoor.
Ingredients :
Ingredients :
I used Noxxa Pressure cooker to prepare the pulut
1.5 Cup pulut rice
1 Cup santan
3/4 cup water ( add little extra if needed)
Pinch of salt
Few pieces of banana leaves & tread.
Let’s Cook the Rendang :
The recipe is similar, even, if we going to cook & steam the pulut on gas stove top (dapur). The ordinary method of pulut cooking.
1) Soak the pulut rice for 3-4hrs in clean water. Drain off the soaked water.
2) Then , use a pot , add in santan, water, pulut rice and salt. Start to cook the pulut for about 10minutes in low heat.
3) Once the water/santan reduced, the pulut should be half cooked only at this stage. Off the heat.
4) Transfer the pulut rice to a steamer tray, and steam the pulut further. It wil take about another 10-15 minutes, the pulut rice will be cooked fully.
The cooked pulut is ready. Get ready with few banana leaves and tread.
Next, let’s prepare the lemang roll.
Before start to roll the lemang, slightly grill the banana leaves to make it tender (1-2 seconds). It makes the rolling and tied the tread task little easier.
Then, start to roll the pulut rice within the banana leaves, tied up the ends using treads. Try to press and make it compact rolls for a perfect round shapes.
The make the grill effect on the lemang, we place the rolled lemang sticks, on top of a heavy bottom pan.
Keep medium-high heat. Grill the lemang for 2-3 minutes, or until the banana leaves start to grilled.
Its done.
Slice the lemand and serve while its still hot.
