BASMATI RICE WITH COCONUT MILK AND GINGER
A perfectly cooked pot of plain white rice is a beautiful thing indeed. But basmati rice that's been cooked in a mixture of chicken broth and coconut milk then seasoned with a little chopped fresh ginger and scallions? That's borderline transcendent. The ginger doesn't overpower the rice here - you'll taste the mellow coconut first and the kicky notes of ginger second - so it makes an ideal accompaniment to stir-fries and braises.

SALMON RICE BOWLS WITH COCONUT-GINGER BROTH
This rice bowl dinner is inspired by the Island Bowls that Chef Rawlston Williams serves at The Food Sermon in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. Originally from the Caribbean island nation of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Rawlston takes inspiration from West Indian flavors and techniques to build his modern fast-casual bowls. We love how he pours coconut broth around the outside of a rice bowl, and borrowed that technique (but not his recipe), then simplified and streamlined a home cook-friendly version. Spreading mayonnaise on top of the salmon fillets helps the spiced panko stay put and keeps the fish moist while it roasts.

Steps:
- Cook the Salmon:
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium until melted. Add panko, pepper, paprika, cayenne, and 1/2 tsp. salt. Cook, stirring constantly, until panko is golden brown, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. Wipe skillet clean; reserve for beans and greens.
- Line a quarter sheet pan or other small rimmed baking dish with parchment paper, then arrange salmon fillets skin side down; season with remaining 3/4 tsp. salt. Using a small spoon or offset spatula, spread mayonnaise across salmon, then sprinkle spiced panko over, pressing lightly to adhere. Roast until salmon is opaque, 8-10 minutes.
- Make the Broth and Beans and Greens and Assemble:
- Heat coconut milk, ginger, sugar, 1 tsp. salt, and 1/4 cup water in a small pot over medium and bring to a boil. Immediately remove from heat and stir in lime juice.
- Heat oil in reserved skillet over medium until melted. Add beans and kale, then cover pan and cook, stirring once halfway through, until kale is wilted, 2-3 minutes. Season with remaining 1/2 tsp. salt and stir to combine.
- Divide rice among bowls, then top with beans and greens mixture. Using a fish spatula, lift each fillet up off its skin-the skin will stick to the paper-and arrange in each bowl. Pour in coconut broth. Serve with lime wedges alongside.

THAI CASHEW COCONUT RICE WITH GINGER PEANUT SAUCE RECIPE - (4.2/5)
Provided by cdboss
Number Of Ingredients 22
Steps:
- Rinse the dry rice well until the water runs clear. In a medium-sized pot, mix together the rice, coconut milk, garlic, salt, and water. Cover and bring to a boil. Once the pot reaches a rolling boil, reduce heat to low and let simmer for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, turn off heat and let sit (with lid on) for an additional 10 minutes. As you wait for the rice, make the peanut sauce. In a small, microwave-safe bowl, combine the peanut butter and honey. Microwave for 15 seconds, or until the peanut butter thins. Stir well. Add the ginger, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Stir again. Thin as desired with water. Fluff the rice and combine it with the chopped vegetables and cashews (I reserve a few whole cashews to garnish with, but it's not necessary). Drizzle with a bit of the Ginger Peanut Sauce and taste-- you most likely will not need to use all of it. Serve with lime wedges.

COCONUT GINGER RICE
Yield 4 servings
Number Of Ingredients 8
Steps:
- In a meduim saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add all ingredients except cilantro and bring to a simmer on low heat. Simmer for 20 minutes or until rice is tender and water is absorbed. Fold in cilantro and let stand 5 minutes. Add additional water if rice is too dry. Taste for salt and add if needed. To serve, sprinkle with toasted coconut or chopped almonds.
Tips:
- Choose the right rice: For this recipe, a long-grain rice like basmati or jasmine is best. These types of rice cook up fluffy and separate, and they have a delicate flavor that won't overpower the other ingredients.
- Soak the rice before cooking: Soaking the rice for 30 minutes before cooking helps to remove excess starch and results in a fluffier texture.
- Use fresh coconut milk: Fresh coconut milk has a richer flavor than canned coconut milk. If you can't find fresh coconut milk, you can use canned coconut milk, but be sure to choose a brand that is unsweetened and has no added thickeners.
- Add the ginger at the right time: Adding the ginger too early in the cooking process will cause it to lose its flavor. Add it towards the end of cooking so that it retains its bright, spicy flavor.
- Serve immediately: Coconut ginger rice is best served immediately after it is cooked. The rice will start to dry out and lose its flavor if it sits for too long.
Conclusion:
Coconut ginger rice is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its fragrant coconut flavor and spicy ginger kick, it is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a simple but flavorful side dish, give coconut ginger rice a try!
