Eat Out To Help Out – Thai Recipes
Food Sorcery Coconut Rice
Gently coconutty sticky rice dish that you can serve on the side of spicy dishes to neutralise the chilli burn!
Ingredients -serves 4-6
This uses as whole can of coconut milk
- . 1 can coconut milk (400ml)
- . 400 ml water
- . Salt – 1 tablespoon
- . Sugar – 3 tablespoon
- . Pandan Leaf (if you find, use lemon grass or ginger)
- . Rice – 450g Jasmine Rice (Thai fragrant rice)
Method
- 1. Save half the coconut milk, and pour the remaining milk into a measuring jug. Dilute the coconut milk with water so you have 600ml total.
- 2. Put the diluted milk into a pan with the sugar, salt and pandan leaf, stir to dissolve the sugar then bring to the boil. If you don’t dissolve the sugar, it will burn on the bottom.
- 3. While coming to boil, rinse the rice in cold water in a sieve.
- 4. Add the rice to the boiling milk, cover with lid and reduce temperature to low.
- 5. After 5 minutes add the set aside coconut milk
- 6. Stir occasionally, you don’t want it to stick to the bottom – it will take about 15 minutes to cook and the rice will be soft and dry. Remove from heat and allow to rest.
