Steamed Coconut Rice Recipes

Steps:

• Saute 2 tablespoons minced ginger in a saucepan with butter. Add 1 cup rinsed basmati rice, 1 cup coconut milk, 1 cup water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat; cover and simmer until the liquid is absorbed, 15 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes off the heat; fluff with a fork. Garnish with cilantro and cashews.

Steps:

• Rinse rice in several changes of cold water, until the water runs clear.
• Put rice in a saucepan and mix with coconut milk, salt and sugar. Bring to a simmer, cover and cook over low heat for 15 minutes. Stir, cover again and cook 7 minutes more. If rice is dry, sprinkle with 3 to 4 tablespoons water and cook 3 minutes more.

Steps:

• In a pot with a tight-fitting lid (or rice cooker) combine all ingredients.
• Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, cooking uncovered; stir occasionally.
• When rice boils, cover pot and reduce heat to low.
• Cook for 15 minutes.
• Remove from heat and let sit with lid on for 10 minutes.

Steps:

• To cook jasmine rice:
• Bring four cups water to a boil. Add rice, salt and oil and boil hard until you see big rounds of boiling rice, approximately three to four minutes. Reduce heat to simmer, cover pot and cook for 15 minutes. Check rice with a fork, taste. If it is a little al dente, leave covered on stove with the heat off for three to four more minutes. Serve in individual bowls

Steps:

• Saute rice in butter just until translucent and very lightly browned.
• Add chopped onion, and continue sauteing until onion is translucent, stirring frequently to prevent onion from burning.
• Drain any excess butter or olive oil.
• Add stock or water carefully to prevent steam burns; it WILL blow steam!
• Adjust heat for a slow simmer, cover, and cook about 15 minutes without stirring or uncovering.
• If all liquid is not absorbed, remove cover, and continue cooking for another 5 minutes.
• Fluff gently with a fork just before serving.
• Variation: Lightly brown orzo or broken pasta in butter and/or olive oil before adding rice.
• Add rice when orzo is already lightly browned, and saute as above, but orzo will be dark brown by the time rice is light brown and onion is translucent; do not burn orzo.
• Add 3 cups of liquid instead of 2 cups, and cook as above.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan over high heat, combine rice, coconut milk and salt; bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes, or until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender.

Steps:

• In a saucepan, combine coconut milk, water, sugar, and salt. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Stir in rice. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 18 to 20 minutes, until rice is tender.
