COW JUMP!!

One of my favourite healthy homemade meal of all time.
It's so green it can make a cow "jump" with joy! hence the name "cow jump".
Nah~ just kidding, but seriously. You will know why as we go along.
Here it is:
Fish crackers aka Keropok

Clockwise from top left: cucumber, long beans,  lemongrass,  daun kesom, daun pegaga. (I think there's another herb, but I can't recall the name)

Fried grated coconut (fried without oil)

Ikan panggang aka smoked fish

Budu aka fermented fish sauce

onion

rice cooked with natural juice from herbs

mixed it all in, without any particular sequence

top with budu (flavor it according to your taste, budu can be very salty, so a lil will do)

mix and stir them all, like the Malay will say "Gaul gaulkan". Then DIG IN, YALLZ!!
This is a Malay/Siam dish. "Kau Jam" in Thai means Salad Rice. Well, the greens that go into this sure is a healthy salad meal!
For your record, I'm no Malay. None of my family is. But my grandma sure can cook like one!
Advice: I usually don't take so much rice cos once you mix it all in, it'll be a big pile!
You can also try it with other veges or side dishes.  
Absolutely recommended to those who liked it healthy.
Verdict: 5/5
