Lemang is a traditional Southeast Asian delicacy made from glutinous rice, coconut milk, and a pinch of salt, all carefully packed into hollow bamboo lined with banana leaves and slow-cooked over an open flame. This unique cooking method gives lemang its rich, smoky aroma, creamy texture, and slightly crisp outer layer.
Lemang is often considered expensive due to its labor-intensive preparation, which requires skillful monitoring to ensure even cooking. The use of high-quality ingredients like fresh coconut milk and premium glutinous rice, combined with the cost of bamboo and firewood, further adds to its price. Additionally, the long cooking time and artisanal craftsmanship make lemang a sought-after delicacy, especially during festive seasons.
