Lemper is an Indonesian classic made by filling sticky rice cooked in coconut milk with shredded chicken and wrapping it in banana leaf. The leaf both shapes the roll and lends a subtle aroma as it steams.
Cook the glutinous rice with the coconut milk and salt over low heat for 15 minutes until the liquid is absorbed.
Sauté the crushed garlic and chopped onion, add the shredded chicken breast and ground coriander, and cook for a few more minutes.
Spread a handful of rice on a cleaned banana leaf, place the chicken filling in the centre, roll tightly into a cylinder and secure the ends with toothpicks.
Steam the wrapped rolls for another 15 minutes and serve warm or at room temperature.
Pass the banana leaf briefly over an open flame before wrapping; the warmed leaf becomes pliable and wraps without cracking.
Dondurucuda sakladığım rulolar buharda ısıtınca ilk günkü gibi taze kaldı, harika bir çözüm oldu.
Muz yaprağının bıraktığı hafif koku pirince gerçekten çok yakışmış, misafirlerim de bayıldı.
