At Home with Aemon: Nasi Lemak
 

Wikipedia: "Nasi lemak is a Malay fragrant rice dish cooked in coconut milk and pandan leaf. It is commonly found in Malaysia, where it is considered the national dish"


I saw a reference to this dish one time on Reddit, salivated a little, and put it into my recipe list for a rainy day. Erin found it months later and, without telling me, researched all the ingredients and spent hours and hours preparing this traditional Malaysian breakfast for me on my 36th Birthday.

It was a flavor extravaganza. Highlights include the salted roast peanuts, crispy fried fishlings , and sweet tamarind paste. 5 aemon stars!
