Directions

  • Slice the ginger, slightly crush the cardamom pods and cinnamon in a pestle and mortar to release their aromatics. 
  • Cut the lemongrass stalks into about 5cm long and bruise them using a pestle and mortar to better release the fragrance.
  • Give the rice a good rinse and set aside.
  • In a pan, pour in the coconut oil and start lightly frying the ginger slices. 
  • Add in the lemongrass, cinnamon sticks, star anise and cardamom pods into the pan. Fry for another 2-3 minutes to release the aromatics, your kitchen should smell really lovely now. 
  • Then add in the rice and continue frying on medium heat. Mix in the turmeric powder and fry for another 3 minutes to marry all the flavours.
  • Turn off the heat, and add all the ingredients into the rice cooker. Including the pandan leaves, vegetable broth cube and water. Give it a good stir for the vegetable broth cube to dissolve well. 
  • Cook and serve while it’s warm, enjoy!
