Thai-Style Rice Salad image

This recipe occurred semi-accidentally. I was studying various Thai recipes and examining the flavors, and went home to stare at my fridge, and out came this recipe. A wonderful condiment to eat with this dish, and many other asian dishes, is Sambal Oelek, a garlic-chili paste you can find in the asian section of most groceries and asian specialty stores. It's quite spicy, and quite tasty.

Time 3h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 21

4 cups uncooked jasmine rice
2 teaspoons unsalted butter
2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger root
2 (14 ounce) cans coconut milk
2 cups water
½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon peanut oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 shallot, minced
1 Thai chile pepper, seeded and minced
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger root
1 teaspoon minced lemon grass
½ pound peeled and deveined medium shrimp (30-40 per pound)
½ red bell pepper, sliced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 teaspoon soy sauce
½ lime, juiced
1 ½ cups diced pineapple
2 teaspoons white sugar, or to taste
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Bring the rice, butter, ginger, coconut milk, water, and salt to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender, and the liquid has been absorbed, about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat, fluff with a fork, and refrigerate until cold.
  • Heat the peanut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the garlic, shallot, minced chile pepper, ginger, and lemon grass; cook for 1 minute until the shallot begins to go limp. Add the shrimp; cook and stir until the shrimp has turned pink, then stir in the red bell pepper slices. Continue cooking until the shrimp is no longer opaque in the center. Season with basil, fish sauce, soy sauce, and lime juice.
  • Stir the shrimp mixture into the chilled rice along with the pineapple and sugar. Sprinkle with cilantro to serve.

This salad was amazing! I loved the combination of the sweet, sour, and spicy flavors. The rice was cooked perfectly and the vegetables were fresh and crisp. I will definitely be making this again!

This salad was okay. It was a bit bland for my taste, even though I used all of the ingredients in the recipe. I think next time I would add more spices and maybe some herbs to make it more flavorful.

This salad was a bit too spicy for my taste, even though I used less chili sauce than the recipe called for. I also found it to be a bit too dry. I think next time I would add more vegetables and maybe some fruit to make it more refreshing.

This salad was a bit too sweet for my taste, but otherwise it was very good. I will definitely be making it again, but I will use less sugar next time.
