Yellow Fragrant Rice (Nasi Kuning)

Ingredients:
1½ cups uncooked jasmine rice, washed and drain
2½ cups coconut milk
¾ cup chicken stock
1 salam leaf
1 pandan leaf
1 stalk lemongrass, bruised
2 Tbs. turmeric water
¾ inch laos, cut in 4 lengthwise slices
1 Tbs. salt
 Instructions:
Combine all ingredients in rice cooker or stockpot and simmer, covered, until done.

Helpful hints:

If you are not using a rice cooker, cook the rice over high heat until the liquid comes to a boil, then lower heat and cook gently so that the coconut milk does not scorch on the bottom of the pan. Remove the lemongrass and laos before serving.
