Coconut Rice image

I had some leftover coconut milk after making a recent Indian dish and thought, "What the heck; let's add some to the rice as it cooks!" What came out is now a real favorite of mine!

Categories     Long Grain Rice

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup basmati rice
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 pinch saffron (about 5-6 threads)
1 cup chicken broth
3/4 cup coconut milk

Steps:

  • In a pot that has a tight-fitting lid, over high heat, add the rice, olive oil, salt, and saffron. Stirring with a wooden spoon, heat for 2-3 minutes until a few rice grains begin to brown on the edges. OPTIONAL: You may want to add a few ounces of shredded coconut at this stage.
  • Being careful to avoid flare-ups and spill-overs, add the chicken broth and coconut milk to the hot pan. It will sizzle and bubble vigorously!
  • Stir to loosen any rice on the bottom or sides of the pot and reduce the heat to low. Put on the lid and cook for 13 minutes.
  • When 13 minutes are up, turn off the heat and let the covered rice sit for 5 minutes.
  • Remove the lid and fluff with a fork before serving with any Asian, Polynesian, or Indian dish.

This recipe was a disaster. The rice came out mushy and the coconut milk curdled.

I wasn't a big fan of this recipe. The coconut flavor was too overpowering for my taste.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover rice. I always have a container of cooked rice in my fridge, so it's nice to have a recipe that I can use it in.

This coconut rice is the perfect side dish for any Thai or Indonesian meal. It's also great served with grilled chicken or fish.

I was a bit skeptical about this recipe at first, but I'm so glad I gave it a try. The rice came out perfectly cooked, and the coconut flavor was subtle but delicious.

This recipe is a keeper! The coconut milk gives the rice a rich and creamy flavor, and the addition of ginger and lemongrass adds a nice touch of spice.
