Rice for Nasi and Mie for Bami

• 400 grams of long grain rice. Almost cook to instructions but leave a little under cooked. The rice should still have a very little bite as it will continue to cook with the other ingredients. Prepare the rice a day in advance is better to ensure it does not stick together

Once the chicken is cooled down remove the meat from the bones and schred in medium pieces Put aside and let cool down. Now add the cumin, garlic, trassi and sambal. Add a little water and let it reduce.
