BASMATI RICE WITH COCONUT MILK AND GINGER



Basmati Rice With Coconut Milk And Ginger image

A perfectly cooked pot of plain white rice is a beautiful thing indeed. But basmati rice that's been cooked in a mixture of chicken broth and coconut milk then seasoned with a little chopped fresh ginger and scallions? That's borderline transcendent. The ginger doesn't overpower the rice here - you'll taste the mellow coconut first and the kicky notes of ginger second - so it makes an ideal accompaniment to stir-fries and braises.

SALMON RICE BOWLS WITH COCONUT-GINGER BROTH



Salmon Rice Bowls with Coconut-Ginger Broth image

This rice bowl dinner is inspired by the Island Bowls that Chef Rawlston Williams serves at The Food Sermon in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. Originally from the Caribbean island nation of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Rawlston takes inspiration from West Indian flavors and techniques to build his modern fast-casual bowls. We love how he pours coconut broth around the outside of a rice bowl, and borrowed that technique (but not his recipe), then simplified and streamlined a home cook-friendly version. Spreading mayonnaise on top of the salmon fillets helps the spiced panko stay put and keeps the fish moist while it roasts.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

For the Salmon:
3 Tbsp. virgin coconut oil
1/2 cup panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1/2 tsp. smoked paprika
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 1/4 tsp. kosher salt, divided
4 (4-6-oz.) salmon fillets
2 Tbsp. mayonnaise
For the Broth, Beans and Greens, and Assembly:
1 (14.5-oz.) can coconut milk
2 Tbsp. finely grated ginger (from one 3" piece)
1 tsp. sugar
1 1/2 tsp. kosher salt, divided
1 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
2 Tbsp. virgin coconut oil
1 (14.5-oz.) can chickpeas, kidney beans, or black beans, drained, rinsed
1 bunch curly kale, stems removed, torn into small pieces
4 cups steamed rice
Lime wedges (for serving)

Steps:

  • Cook the Salmon:
  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium until melted. Add panko, pepper, paprika, cayenne, and 1/2 tsp. salt. Cook, stirring constantly, until panko is golden brown, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Wipe skillet clean; reserve for beans and greens.
  • Line a quarter sheet pan or other small rimmed baking dish with parchment paper, then arrange salmon fillets skin side down; season with remaining 3/4 tsp. salt. Using a small spoon or offset spatula, spread mayonnaise across salmon, then sprinkle spiced panko over, pressing lightly to adhere. Roast until salmon is opaque, 8-10 minutes.
  • Make the Broth and Beans and Greens and Assemble:
  • Heat coconut milk, ginger, sugar, 1 tsp. salt, and 1/4 cup water in a small pot over medium and bring to a boil. Immediately remove from heat and stir in lime juice.
  • Heat oil in reserved skillet over medium until melted. Add beans and kale, then cover pan and cook, stirring once halfway through, until kale is wilted, 2-3 minutes. Season with remaining 1/2 tsp. salt and stir to combine.
  • Divide rice among bowls, then top with beans and greens mixture. Using a fish spatula, lift each fillet up off its skin-the skin will stick to the paper-and arrange in each bowl. Pour in coconut broth. Serve with lime wedges alongside.

THAI CASHEW COCONUT RICE WITH GINGER PEANUT SAUCE RECIPE - (4.2/5)



Thai Cashew Coconut Rice with Ginger Peanut Sauce Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by cdboss

Number Of Ingredients 22

For the Coconut Rice:
1 1/2 cups dry jasmine rice
1 (15 oz) can unsweetened coconut milk
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup water
For the Salad:
2 red bell peppers, finely chopped
1 red cabbage, shredded
1 1/2 cups shredded carrots
1 small red onion, finely diced
1 cup cilantro, chopped
3/4 cup green onions, thinly sliced
1 cup cashews, finely chopped
For the Ginger Peanut Sauce:
1/3 cup peanut butter
2 tablespoons honey
3 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 teaspoon sesame oil
Water to thin
Lime wedges

Steps:

  • Rinse the dry rice well until the water runs clear. In a medium-sized pot, mix together the rice, coconut milk, garlic, salt, and water. Cover and bring to a boil. Once the pot reaches a rolling boil, reduce heat to low and let simmer for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, turn off heat and let sit (with lid on) for an additional 10 minutes. As you wait for the rice, make the peanut sauce. In a small, microwave-safe bowl, combine the peanut butter and honey. Microwave for 15 seconds, or until the peanut butter thins. Stir well. Add the ginger, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Stir again. Thin as desired with water. Fluff the rice and combine it with the chopped vegetables and cashews (I reserve a few whole cashews to garnish with, but it's not necessary). Drizzle with a bit of the Ginger Peanut Sauce and taste-- you most likely will not need to use all of it. Serve with lime wedges.
