Instructions
- 1Rinse the 1 cup of Jasmine Rice under cool running water until the water runs clear. Drain well.
- 2In a large heavy-bottomed pot, combine the rinsed rice, 6 cups of Chicken Broth, 0.5 cup of diced Beef, 0.5 cup of diced Chicken, 0.5 cup of diced Carrot, 0.5 cup of diced Potato, 1 medium chopped Onion, 3 cloves of minced Garlic, and 1 tablespoon of minced Ginger.
- 3Add the 1 teaspoon of Cumin Powder, 1 teaspoon of Coriander Powder, 0.5 teaspoon of Turmeric Powder, 1 Cinnamon Stick, 2 pieces of Star Anise, 1 teaspoon of Salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of Pepper to the pot.
- 4Stir everything together and bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, about 100°C. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot tightly, and let it simmer for 50-60 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. The porridge is ready when the rice is very soft and the mixture has a creamy consistency.
- 5Stir in the 1 cup of Coconut Milk. Continue to simmer, uncovered, for another 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the porridge is heated through and has a smooth, creamy texture.
- 6Carefully remove and discard the 1 Cinnamon Stick and 2 pieces of Star Anise from the pot.
- 7Ladle the Bubur Lambuk into serving bowls. Garnish with 2 tablespoons of chopped Fresh Cilantro. Serve hot.
