Steps:

1. Rice: Wash rice thoroughly. Add coconut milk and salt. **Top up rest of liquid measurement for rice with water.
   
2. Assam Prawn: Marinate shrimps with tamarind, light soy sauce, and white pepper for at least 2 hours. Leave in fridge. Heat up pan with oil. Stir fry shrimp and marinate sauce for 6 minutes. Sugar will caramelize.
   
3. Sambal Anchovies (Ikan Bilis): Wash the anchovies thoroughly. Place them on plate. Microwave for 3 minutes or until crispy. *Low fat cooking ;)*
4. Halve hard-boiled eggs length wise.
5. Cut cucumber in rings for garnishing.
6. Serve as in picture when ready.

Notes:
* Excluding marinading time of 2 hours
** I did not add water and used all coconut milk instead. Rice cooker pitch a fit and I added water after to the appropriate measurement line in the rice cooker. It turned out A-Okay!
