Malaysian Recipe Requests for Laksa, Rendang, Satay and Nasi Lemak
Asked Mar 14, 2021 by Laura I.
Hello - Can we make recipe requests? Would love to see the rendang recipe formatted for my instant pot. Also would adore a delightful Milk Street treatment of the different varietals of Curry Laksa...my favorite one was a Sarawak style of tamarind base that I found enroute towards the Orangutan preserve in the Borneo jungle. There is a hut style Hilton long house you can stay at nearby. Also I love Nasi Lemak and would love a discussion on what to substitute for curry leaf in an American kitchen.
Also as for satay...the Singaporean recipe is good but my family recipe takes 3 days. Could we explore Malaysian-Chinese style. We cook the satay sauce for 6 hours and serve it with a cold pressed rice cake and cucumber slices. The sauce is like a fondue and the meat just an accompaniment.
Huge fan. Thank you for considering.

Thank you so much. Saw the reference to curry leaves in the last issue - "there is no substitute for curry leaves". Sad but true.
