I'm not a huge fan of spicy food, but I really enjoyed the sambal in this recipe. It was just the right amount of heat, and it really complemented the other flavors in the dish.

This nasi lemak recipe is a keeper! The rice was fluffy and flavorful, and the sambal was spicy and addictive. I especially loved the addition of the peanuts and anchovies, which gave the dish a nice crunchy texture.
