Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 (14 oz) can unsweetened coconut milk (full fat) (preferably Thai-style, I like the Thai Kitchen brand)
2 cups uncooked jasmine rice
1 ½ cups water
¾ teaspoons Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Rinse rice thoroughly with cold water using a colander, using your hands to gently swirl it around. Set aside.
  • Stir the coconut milk with a spoon, if needed: When you open the can, it may look separated, and that's normal. Simply stir it with a spoon until evenly combined.
  • In a medium saucepan, combine coconut milk, water, and salt. Over medium heat, bring to a low boil.
  • Then, add the rinsed rice and give it a quick stir. Bring to a boil again and then reduce to a low simmer. Cover with the lid and simmer for 18-20 minutes until water has been absorbed and rice is tender.
  • Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 8-10 minutes. Fluff with a fork and serve.

PURPLE JASMINE COCONUT RICE RECIPE



Purple Jasmine Coconut Rice Recipe image

Tthe hugely popular Burma Superstar restaurant here in San Francisco. Drive by any night of the week and you'll find a line out the door, people patiently waiting for a seat inside the modest-sized, one room dining area. Lots of praises of the samusa soup, tea leaf and rainbow salads - and you should never leave without a side...

Provided by Penny Hall

Categories     Rice Sides

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups purple jasmine rice (or substitute white jasmine rice)
1 cup unsweetened coconut milk (don't use lite)
1 1/2 cups water
1 teaspoon fine grain sea salt
4 medium shallots, thinly sliced
1/4 cup unsalted butter
a handful of cashews, chopped and toasted

Steps:

  • 1. Start by rinsing the rice. You can do this by putting the rice in the thick-bottomed pan it is going to cook in. Fill the pot halfway with water, swish the rice around (the water will get cloudy), and pour out the cloudy water. Repeat 3 times. The water might still be a bit cloudy, and that is o.k. To the rinsed (and drained) rice add the coconut milk, water, and salt. Stir to combine. Place the pot over medium high heat and bring the liquid to a boil (uncovered). Stir often to prevent the rice from scorching down at the bottom of the pot. Once the liquid comes to a boil reduce the heat to a low, low simmer, cover the pot tightly with a lid. Cook for about 15- 20 more minutes (resisting the urge to peek). Remove from heat (still covered!), and let the rice steam for another 10-15. While the rice is cooking cook up the shallots in a small frying pan over medium to medium-high heat. Too hot and you'll burn the butter instead of browning it. Add the butter to the pan, then stir in the shallots and a couple pinches of salt. Stir every few minutes letting the shallots brown increasingly until they are dark in color. Transfer to a paper towel until ready to use. I fluff the rice in the pot so I don't completely dirty up the edges of my serving bowl or platter. Transfer the rice to desired serving vessel and sprinkle with cashews and the crispy shallots. Serves 4 to 6.

Tips:

  • To achieve the vibrant purple color, use freshly squeezed butterfly pea flower juice or high-quality dried butterfly pea flowers.
  • Soaking the rice before cooking helps reduce the cooking time and yields fluffier results.
  • Use full-fat coconut milk for a richer, creamier flavor and texture.
  • Toasting the rice before cooking adds a nutty aroma and flavor.
  • Adjust the amount of water or coconut milk based on your desired consistency. For a softer, more porridge-like texture, add more liquid. For a firmer, more distinct grain texture, use less liquid.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs, such as cilantro, mint, or basil, for added flavor and color.

Conclusion:

Purple jasmine coconut rice is a stunning and flavorful side dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its vibrant purple hue, fragrant aroma, and delicious taste, this dish is sure to impress your guests. Whether you serve it alongside curries, grilled meats, or vegetarian dishes, purple jasmine coconut rice is a surefire hit. So next time you're looking for a unique and delicious side dish, give this recipe a try!
