With Merdeka Day just around the corner, I couldn’t resist sharing Malaysia’s most beloved dish - Nasi Lemak!

Coconut rice. Spicy sambal. Crispy anchovies. Peanuts. Egg. Cucumber. It’s a plate that hits every note: sweet, salty, spicy, savory.

I’ve put together a step-by-step guide so you can make it at home, whether you’re cooking on the stovetop or in a rice cooker.

Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside. This Chicken Katsu is comfort food done right. And the best part? That sweet, tangy tonkatsu sauce is made with pantry staples.

I used to skip right past Moo Goo Gai Pan on the takeout menu because it looked....too healthy. Now I can't get enough of it and wish I tried it sooner. Velvety chicken, mushrooms, crisp veggies tossed in a light, savory sauce. Make this classic Chinese-American stir-fry at home!

Sweet, savory, saucy — this is Mie Goreng 🍜 Indonesia’s take on fried noodles. Kecap manis (sweet soy sauce), oyster sauce, and soy sauce come together to coat every noodle in rich, bold flavor. I added shrimp and cabbage to mine, but this dish is endlessly flexible — whatever’s in your fridge works.
If you grew up on Indomie instant noodles like I did, this is the homemade glow-up!

Craving bold, smoky noodles? 🍜 My Penang Char Kway Teow recipe just got a revamp!

This iconic Malaysian street food is made with flat rice noodles stir-fried over high heat with shrimp, Chinese sausage, egg, bean sprouts, and garlic chives - all coated in a savory, umami-packed sauce.

I’ve updated the post with everything I’ve learned over the years, including how to get that elusive wok hei (“breath of the wok”) using a regular home stove. 

If you’ve made it before, now’s the perfect time to revisit it. If it’s new to you, you’re in for a treat!

✨ Roti Jala (Malaysian lace pancakes / net crepes) ✨
They might look fancy, but they’re surprisingly simple to make — even if you don’t have special tools. I’ve included a couple of DIY hacks using everyday kitchen items to help you get that signature lacy pattern.

These delicate crepes are perfect for soaking up rich, flavorful curry. Pair them with your favorite saucy dish (like my Malaysian Chicken Curry 👀) for the ultimate comfort meal.

Named the world’s best stew by TasteAtlas in April 2025, and it absolutely lives up to the title! Malaysian Chicken Curry (Kari Ayam) is bold, rich, and layered with flavor. 
In this version, I show you how to make it completely from scratch. No curry powder needed — just fresh ingredients, some patience, and a delicious payoff.

No claypot? No problem. This Rice Cooker Claypot Chicken Rice is my shortcut to all those savory, cozy flavors—without babysitting a pot on the stove.
You still get tender, marinated chicken, Chinese sausage, shiitake mushrooms, and fluffy rice... and yes, I’ll show you how to get that crispy bottom layer too. 🔥

This Slow Cooker Beef Massaman Curry is rich, comforting, and packed with aromatic flavors—all with minimal effort. Just toss everything into the slow cooker and let it do the work! Make it even better with my homemade Massaman Curry Paste for an extra depth of flavor.
