quick tips--for smbal i just use dry chilli to make a chilli pes, broth the dry chilli until boiling then u can grind with the basic ingredient-fried the anchovies(blue eye anchovies more delicious) 1st then reuse oil for the sambal. -the sambal u can do the classic way, just a lot of onion, big yellow onion for extra sweet n no anchovies. u just wan a crispy anchovies. -all the ingredient should separate instead of mixed--warning, dun put ginger in rice n a lot of air asam in sambal, it ruin the original taste--this my wat my grandma thaught me. so good luck!

Though there is such a thing as sambal Ikan bilis (sambal with fried dried anchovies - what was made here, nasi lemak features the sambal and the anchovies as separate elements within the dish, not cooked together. Also for those who don't know nasi lemak, you need to have the smelly fermented shrimp paste and the tamarind in the chilli, without which you are not making the correct chilli for nasi lemak.

HOLD UP! This is one of the variation of the nasi lemak. We don't usually eat it in a bowl nor mix the -sambal- with the anchovies and peanut. But holy shit this is the ultimate comfort food. Add a fried chicken, fried eggs, maybe roasted squid, some deep fried cow's lungs or anything. EVEN PORK CHOP! Nonetheless, put anything on it, and it will still become nasi lemak. ;)

Americanized Nasi Lemak, it-s cool still. Need more exposure on Malaysian food. Feel the need to point out that despite Singapore -winning- the street food battle, they can-t touch our diversity. Mee Kolok and Laksa Sarawak from Sarawak, Sata, otak-otak and Nasi Dagang from Terengganu, Nasi Kerabu from Kelantan. You guys can-t touch us on purely the food level.

I lived with some Malaysians in college, wonderful people, and I can honestly say some of the dishes have some strong flavors to them. I miss them now because you just don't find flavors that intense every day here. An amazing food culture in Malaysia and wonderful people.

I'm a westerner living in Indonesia, I never did like anchovies before I started working here but fried ikan asin (-salted fish-, Indonesian is basically a dialect of Malay) in fried rice is amazing. It's like a little ocean flavor bomb

I'm not from SE Asia but I love nasi lemak. All the kinds I've tried had anchovy peanuts and sambal separately on the side. Plus I'm sure the coconut milk is added in the beginning. Is this a regional difference?

Sorry but the sambal / chili gravy isn't mixed together with the peanuts and anchovies. they're placed separately. And the sambal / chili gravy is given more generously as the dish would be too dry otherwise
