A friend had posted pictures of her nasi ulam dish in Penang.
The power of suggestion!

So, I tweaked the recipe a little to use what I could put together easily.
Rice (basmati)
Hae bee hiam (spicy dried shrimp sambal, made by my sister during Chinese New Year)
Cucumber
Onions
The mix of herbs:
- Kaffir lime leaves
- Mint
- Thai basil
- Lemongrass
As the rice was cooking, I cut all the herbs finely, minced the onions and sliced the cucumber. The last two ingredients are really needed - the onions give the rice mix a nice kick and sweetness while the cucumber refreshes from the hae bee hiam. Yummy!
