Nasi Jagung

This recipe is not mine.  I got it from Mat Gebu and change some ingredients and method here and there.  For the original please visit his website Tiffinbiru.  I like to follow his blog becos all his food looks so flavourful.  The ingredients he uses not stingy at all.  As for me some of the ingredients cannot be found or I don't use it often so I will replace it with something I have in the fridge.

I realised that this rice is so flavourful and its nice to eat on its own.
