Lemang is a traditional Malaysian dish made from glutinous rice cooked in bamboo with coconut milk.

This dish has a rich history and is often associated with festive occasions and celebrations, particularly during the Hari Raya festival.

To make Lemang, glutinous rice is soaked in water, then mixed with coconut milk and a pinch of salt. The mixture is then carefully filled into hollow bamboo tubes.

The bamboo tubes are placed over an open fire and cooked slowly, allowing the rice to absorb the flavors of the coconut milk and bamboo.

In Malaysia, Lemang is typically served in slices and enjoyed with rendang, a spicy meat dish, or other savory accompaniments.

While Lemang is a delicious and unique dish, it is important to enjoy it in moderation due to its high carbohydrate content from the glutinous rice and the richness of the coconut milk.
