Sayur Lodeh
Sayur Lodeh is an old time Malaysian favourite, usually eaten with Lontong or ‘nasi impit’ (compressed rice cakes). Don’t be put off by the number of ingredients coz although there’s a lot of them, the steps to create this is actually fairly simple. What we can promise you though is that one bowl won’t be enough, coz we know you’ll fall in love with the outcome of this beautifully flavoured dish!
