glutinous rice
Comfort
foods may be consumed to positively pique the emotions,
to relieve negative
psychological effects or
to increase positive feelings. The term was first used,
according to Webster’s Dictionary, in 1977.
comfort
food is:
-a
traditionally eaten food, which often provides a nostalgic or sentimental feeling to the eater, or to his culture.
-a food that gives the eater an easy-to-digest meal, soft in consistency, rich in calories, nutrients, flavorful etc.
Chicken soup is a common comfort food across cultures and is widely regarded as folk remedy for the common cold/ flu.
Some
interesting finds on studies done on comfort food in the US-
1-Males
preferred warm, hearty, meal-related comfort foods (such as steak, casseroles
and soup). Triggered by positive emotions
2-Females
preferred comfort foods that were more snack related (such as chocolate and ice
cream). Triggered by negative emotions
3-Comfort
food eating is mainly due to emotional stress and became a key contributor to
the epidemic of obesity.

nasi dagang, roti canai, capati, tosei (dosai), chicken rice, rice porridge(congee),
chicken noodles soup, fried chicken, goreng pisang (banana fritters), pulut
kuning (yellow glutinous rice), tempe (fermented soya bean-of Javanese origin)

glutinous rice with coconut filling
pulut
kuning cooking-varieties-
nusantara recipe
The Sweet coconut paste should be cooked first,
before you start cooking the glutinous
rice.
for Coconut filling
1 cup fresh grated coconut
½ cup melted natural palm sugar- this is done by
boiling sugar with some water (about 1 ½ cups)
Use a wok and heat coconut and sugar. Stir continously until
mixture dries up.
Turn off fire. Remove from heat.
for glutinous rice
ingredients
2 cups glutinous rice
1 tablespoon turmeric powder/ fresh turmeric juice is
better.
¾- 1 cup pure coconut milk and add
1 tablespoon salt to coconut milk- to enhance flavor
method
Wash glutinous rice. Soak it overnight in water with
turmeric powder added to the water. This will give the rice a vibrant bright
yellow color.
Note-You can do the coconut filling today, for use
tomorrow- it will not get spoilt.
Next day, drain water and place glutinous rice on a
steamer pan.
Fill up Steamer pot with water and put to boil. When
water has already boiled, put Steamer pan onto the Steamer pot and close
tightly with lid cover. Wait for 25 minutes. Open the lid and taste one rice
grain, if it is cooked, put off fire.
Scoop out the glutinous rice and put in a large mixing
bowl. Drizzle salted coconut milk evenly all over rice and mix well. The color will darken a little, giving a shiny texture.
Then, shape the rice anyway you like because it is easy
to shape sticky glutinous rice.
You may fill it in a serving bowl and compress it (see
picture), then eat with chicken rendang (stewed spicy chicken) or any gravy
like chicken curry.
Or shape into cones and alternate fill up with sweet coconut paste.
Or shape into cones and alternate fill up with sweet coconut paste.
This is traditionally served for breakfast or for tea
and is typically served during any kenduri/ feast giving thanks

DeleteHi Wan, I really miss eating that yellow rice. More than 30 years too. Nasi kunyit?
ReplyDeleteAll the foods here look so delicious....
I love chicken rice and roti canai....that we get here.....lots of Indian makan shops too, but all time favourite is banana leaf rice.
Where we are its eating potatoes that helps with giving energy....and French fries the almost daily consumption among kids.
But I must have my rice....and vegetables, fish....agree with you re eating nutritional foods, in our case give body heat to combat the winter cold.
Love the pics here.
Best regards.
Lee.
hi Lee, sorry, i am not sure if it also called "nasi kunyit" but we call it "pulut kuning" ..it is glutinous rice( padi pulut) not nasi(padi beras). pulut like for making kueh wajed :) (remember this sweet kueh?)
