About Sayur lemak

Sayur Lemak is a rich and flavorful vegetable dish originating from Malaysian and Singaporean cuisine. Its name translates to "vegetables in coconut milk," which forms the creamy base of the dish. Typically, it includes a mix of leafy greens, long beans, cabbage, sweet potato, and eggplant, simmered with aromatic ingredients such as turmeric, garlic, ginger, and lemongrass. Sometimes, tofu or tempeh is added for extra protein. While Sayur Lemak is packed with nutrients from its vegetables, the coconut milk provides healthy fats that support digestion and energy. However, due to the high saturated fat content, moderation is advised for those managing cholesterol. It's often served as part of a balanced meal alongside steamed rice and lean protein options, making it a wholesome and vibrant addition to your diet when enjoyed thoughtfully.
