Nasi lemak is a classic Malay dish made with rice cooked in coconut milk and pandan leaf, so why not take this dish to a whole other level by making it into a burger! There was a huge craze over the nasi lemak burger when it was introduced in Singapore and for good reason.
The buns are replaced with coconut rice, and fried chicken replaces your regular beef patty. Add all the other classic burger ingredients to make for a hearty meal you can keep in the Thermos® Lunch Tote to bring to work or on a picnic. Find the recipe here.
