I made this to go with Sticky Chicken Drumsticks made with hot chili sauce, and this was the perfect rice to contrast with the heat from the chicken. I used leftover rice, and the directions for using leftover rice worked out perfectly. Thanks for sharing! Made for Newest Tag. -
Coconut rice is such a nice foil for spicy dishes, like the spicy scallops I prepared. I modified quantities on the fly to fit my 3-cup rice cooker. One thing I did do in addition was to take the lonely lemongrass stalk languishing in the veggie bin, peel it, smash it, cut into a few large chunks and throw it in with the rice. The lemongrass fragrance really enhanced the rice. -
Really easy and tasty. I used cooked rice and all coconut milk with 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut. Could have reduced the milk by 2 T. Served with chicken curry. -
I was worried that this rice might be too creamy and sticky, not so at all........ The rice was really nice.<br/>The rice turned out really well, a great texture with just a subtle flavor of coconut. The coconut milk did not overpower the rice at all.<br/>Served with a stir fry chicken this was just the thing. We really liked the rice made like this.<br/>Thanks awalde for another great recipe -
We really liked this rice. I was afraid that the flavour of coconut might be overwhelming, but it's really not. I also topped it with toasted coconut and that added a nice touch. We had this with awalde's Recipe #446017, roast chicken and veggies. Yum! Made for PRMR recipe tag game. Thanks awalde! :)
