About Lemang

Lemang is a traditional Southeast Asian dish, particularly popular in Malay and Indonesian cuisines, known for its unique cooking method and flavorful taste. Made from glutinous rice, coconut milk, and sometimes salt, it is traditionally cooked inside hollow bamboo lined with banana leaves over an open fire or hot coals. This method imparts a smoky aroma and moist texture to the dish. Lemang is often served during festivities like Hari Raya or as a side dish alongside rendang and curries. Nutritionally, it is rich in carbohydrates and provides energy, but the coconut milk contributes saturated fats, which should be consumed in moderation. While glutinous rice offers less fiber compared to whole grains, pairing Lemang with protein-rich or vegetable-based dishes can create a more balanced meal. It is a delightful culinary experience that combines tradition with rich, satisfying flavors.
