Ingredients:
2 cups rice (for 4 servings)
1 stalk lemongrass, bruised
3 bay leaves
2 kaffir lime leaves
1 segment of galangal, bruised
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon brown sugar, finely grated
400 ml thick coconut milk (from 1 coconut)
200 ml water (adjust to desired consistency)
1 teaspoon chicken stock or beef stock (optional)
1 teaspoon cooking oil (for sauteing)
Ground spices:
3 cloves shallots
2 cloves garlic
3 red chilies (adjust to desired level of spiciness)
1 curly red chili
1/2 teaspoon coriander
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder (or 1 segment of fresh turmeric, if available)
How to Make Rendang Rice:
Wash the Rice: Wash the rice until the water runs clear. This is important to remove any remaining starch from the rice so that the rice doesn't stick together.

Saute the Fine Spices: Heat cooking oil in a pan. Saute the fine spices (shallots, garlic, red chilies, curly chilies, coriander, cumin, pepper, and turmeric) until fragrant and cooked. Make sure the spices really give off a delicious spice aroma.

Cook Coconut Milk and Spices: After the fine spices are sauteed, add lemongrass, galangal, bay leaves, and kaffir lime leaves. Stir well and cook briefly until the spices are well mixed. Then pour in the thick coconut milk and water. Add salt and brown sugar, stir until the sugar dissolves. Let the coconut milk boil over low heat so that the spices are well absorbed.

Add Rice: After the coconut milk boils and the spices are well mixed, add the washed rice to the pan. Stir well so that all the spices and coconut milk are well mixed.

Cook Rendang Rice: Cook rendang rice using a rice cooker or regular pan. If using a rice cooker, simply press the "cook" button and let it sit until the rice is perfectly cooked. If using a pan, cook over low heat and cover the pan tightly so that the rice does not dry out easily. Stir occasionally to ensure the rice does not burn on the bottom.

Finishing: Once the rice is cooked, remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes. Then, stir the rice so that the spices are evenly absorbed. The rendang rice is ready to be served.

Interesting Tips:
Using Coconut Milk: If you want the rice to be more savory, you can add more thick coconut milk. However, if you prefer lighter rice, just use thin coconut milk or mix in a little water.
Add Rendang Meat: For a richer taste, you can add pieces of cooked rendang meat to the rendang rice after the rice is cooked. Stir well so that the rendang meat is absorbed into the rice.
Spicy Variation: Adjust the amount of chili according to the desired level of spiciness. If you like it spicy, you can add cayenne pepper to the ground spices.
