What is Lemang?

Lemang is a traditional Malaysian and Indonesian dish made from glutinous rice and coconut milk, cooked inside bamboo tubes over an open flame. It's often served during festive occasions like Eid al-Fitr and other celebrations. 

The bamboo imparts a unique smoky flavor to the rice, making it a delicious and popular dish.

Lemang Recipe

Here's a basic recipe for making lemang:

Ingredients:

- 2 cups glutinous rice

- 1 cup coconut milk

- 1 teaspoon salt

- Bamboo tubes (cut into suitable lengths and cleaned)

- Banana leaves (for lining the bamboo tubes)

Instructions:

1. Wash the glutinous rice thoroughly and soak it in water for about 4 hours or overnight. Drain the rice before using.

2. Mix the soaked rice, coconut milk, and salt in a bowl. Make sure the rice is well-coated with the coconut milk.

3. Line the bamboo tubes with banana leaves, ensuring they are secure and won't leak.

4. Fill the bamboo tubes with the rice and coconut milk mixture, leaving about an inch of space at the top for the rice to expand as it cooks.

5. Seal the top of the bamboo tubes with banana leaves or aluminum foil to prevent steam from escaping.

6. Place the filled bamboo tubes over a charcoal or wood fire. Make sure the flames are not directly touching the tubes. Cook the lemang for about 2-3 hours, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking. The bamboo will char and turn brown as the lemang cooks.

7. Once the lemang is cooked, carefully remove them from the fire and let them cool slightly before unwrapping.

8. Gently push the lemang out of the bamboo tubes. The rice should have a sticky texture and a pleasant smoky aroma.

9. Slice the lemang into rounds and serve with your favorite accompaniments, such as rendang (a flavorful Indonesian beef stew) or serunding (spiced meat floss).

Enjoy your homemade lemang!

Note: Cooking times may vary depending on the heat of the fire and the size of the bamboo tubes. It's important to keep an eye on the lemang to prevent burning or uneven cooking.
