Mudah

Cabbage Ulam with Grated Coconut is a beloved Malaysian vegetarian dish, celebrated for its simplicity, freshness, and vibrant flavors. Ulam refers to the traditional Malay practice of consuming raw or lightly blanched vegetables with various aromatic herbs, typically enjoyed with a side of sambal or other condiments. This dish showcases the multicultural essence of Malaysia, where local ingredients like freshly grated coconut (kelapa parut), lemongrass (serai), and kaffir lime leaves (daun limau purut) are combined to create a refreshing and nutritious salad. With its crunchy cabbage, aromatic herbs, and sweet-salty coconut topping, Cabbage Ulam with Grated Coconut is a perfect representation of Malaysian cuisine’s ability to balance nutrition and taste seamlessly. Its roots trace back to kampung (village) cooking, where families gather seasonal vegetables and herbs from their gardens. This dish is commonly served as part of a typical lunch or as an accompaniment to rice, making it a versatile option for health-conscious eaters seeking to explore authentic Malaysian flavors.

Bahan-bahan(untuk 1 medium bowl per serving)

2 cups Cabbage (thinly sliced)
1/2 cup Fresh grated coconut (kelapa parut) (preferably young coconut)
1 small Carrot (julienned)
1 stalk Lemongrass (serai) (finely sliced, white part only)
2 leaves Kaffir lime leaves (daun limau purut) (finely shredded)
1 Bird’s eye chili (cili padi) (finely chopped, optional for heat) - pilihan
1 Shallot (finely sliced)
1 small Pandan leaf (tied into a knot, optional for aroma) - pilihan
1/4 tsp Salt
1 tbsp Lime juice (from local limau nipis)

Arahan

1
Prepare all vegetables: Thinly slice the cabbage, julienne the carrot, shred kaffir lime leaves, and slice the shallot and lemongrass.
5 minutes
Use a sharp knife for even, thin slices to ensure a consistent texture.
2
Lightly blanch the cabbage and carrot in boiling water for 30 seconds. Drain and plunge into ice water to retain crunch and color.
5 minutes
Do not overcook—ulam is best with crunchy vegetables.
3
In a dry pan, gently toast the fresh grated coconut (kelapa parut) with the pandan leaf over low heat until fragrant and slightly golden. Remove pandan before using.
3 minutes
Stir constantly to avoid burning; pandan adds a signature Malaysian aroma.
4
Combine blanched cabbage, carrot, shallot, lemongrass, and kaffir lime leaves in a large bowl.
2 minutes
Mix gently to avoid bruising the vegetables.
