Wash and drain the jasmine rice until the water runs clear.
Bruise the lemongrass and knot the pandan leaf.
Put the rice, coconut milk, water, lemongrass, pandan, bay leaves, and salt in a pot.
Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and cook for 18 minutes.
Rest the pot covered for 10 minutes so the steam finishes the rice.
Remove the herbs and serve the rice with egg, fried onions, and sambal.
💡 Tip: Wash the rice until the water runs clear so it cooks in coconut milk with separate grains.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve with boiled egg, fried onions, and sambal.
