Royal Pilau Nasi Ulam

It’s all about refreshing herbs in this Royal Pilau Nasi Ulam. Nasi Ulam is an Indonesian steamed rice dish that’s mixed with herbs like mint, betel leaf and basil leaf. Sarah Huang Benjamin shows how easy it is to prepare this dish for any weeknight family dinner by just plopping all the ingredients into a single rice cooker. Unlike many other Asian rice recipes, this herby dish is light and fluffy, and makes for a great accompaniment to heavier rendangs and curries.

- Cook the rice.

Prepare the onions
- On low to medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil to a pan and throw in the chopped onions.
- Keep stirring over a medium heat for 10 to 15min, until the onions are carmelized and golden brown.
