Coconut Rice With Edamame Recipes

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups dashi broth, mirin, soy sauce and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil over high heat. Add edamame, reduce heat to medium, and cook 4 minutes. Place a colander over a medium heatproof bowl, and pour in contents of saucepan. Reserve broth and beans separately.
• Place rice in a bowl, and rinse with cold water until water runs clear. Drain rice well in a fine strainer. In a medium saucepan, combine rice, reserved broth and kombu.
• Cover saucepan, and place over high heat. When lid jiggles and foam begins to appear at its edges (in 3 to 4 minutes), reduce heat to medium and cook 10 minutes. Raise heat to high for 30 seconds, and then turn it off. Immediately remove kombu from pan and add edamame; do not stir. Cover pan, and remove from heat. Let sit 10 minutes.
• With a wooden paddle or fork, mix beans into rice. Scoop rice into serving bowls, and sprinkle each portion with a teaspoon of black sesame seeds and a little salt. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Remove seeds from cardamom pods, if using, and discard pods. Grind seeds to a powder in a spice grinder or mortar.
• In a medium saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, melt butter over medium-low heat. Add onion and cardamom, and cook, stirring frequently, until translucent, about 5 minutes.
• Add rice, and stir until grains are well coated with butter, about 1 minute. Add cinnamon stick, coconut milk, 1 3/4 cups water, salt, and sugar. Stir well to combine. Bring to a boil, and immediately reduce heat to lowest setting. Cook, covered, for 25 minutes. Remove from heat, and let stand for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork. Serve hot, garnished with shaved coconut.

Steps:

• Rinse rice until water runs clear. Drain and set aside.
• In a medium pot or Dutch oven, toast the coconut and sesame seeds over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes. (Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning.) Transfer to a small bowl. Wipe out the pot.
• In the same pot, melt the coconut oil over medium-low. Add the scallion whites, turmeric and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and cook, stirring, until aromatic and lightly toasted, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Add the rice, coconut milk, saffron (if using), and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Fill the empty can of coconut milk with water and add it to the pot. Give the mixture a good stir to separate any lumps and bring to a boil over medium-high.
• Once boiling, cover, turn the heat to low, and simmer for 10 minutes.
• As rice cooks, remove and discard the tough stems of the leafy greens, if needed, and cut or tear the leaves into bite-size pieces. When the rice has cooked for 10 minutes, arrange the greens on top of the rice in an even layer and season well with salt and pepper. Cover, and cook until the rice is tender, 5 more minutes. Remove from heat and let sit, covered, 5 minutes.
• As rice rests, zest the lime and cut it into 4 wedges. Add 1/2 teaspoon zest to the coconut-sesame mixture, along with the scallion greens. Season with salt and pepper and stir to combine.
• Gently stir the greens into the rice using a spatula or fork, season to taste with salt and pepper. Divide among bowls. Sprinkle the coconut mixture on top and serve with a lime wedge for squeezing over.
