Ok....my sweet tooth hit overdrive tonight and I wanted my dinner to reflect that! I didn't want to wait for dessert for the good stuff....so here is a recipe that I found from President's Choice that definitely satisfied my need for sweet....but not overkill! This IS actually a dessert but I needed something to go with my Lemon Chicken and Fresh Snow Peas...so I decided that this would fill the empty spot on my plate. While I was waiting for my chicken to finish cooking, I was sampling this Jasmine Rice delight...and it was mighty hard to wait to put it on the plate! Hope you enjoy this as much as I did!

Coconut Jasmine Rice Pudding T-R-L image

Another great use for leftover rice. This time, Jasmine rice. I love Jasmine rice even without it being a dessert.

Provided by Nana Lee

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h10m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 eggs
3/4 cup sugar (or Splenda)
2 (13 1/2 ounce) cans coconut milk
2 cups cooked jasmine rice (thai)
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon coconut extract (optional)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300ºF (150ºC).
  • Lightly butter a 9x13-inch pan.
  • In a mixing bowl, beat eggs and sugar well.
  • Add Coconut Milk, Jasmine Rice, milk, vanilla extract, coconut extract, salt and nutmeg.
  • Mix thoroughly.
  • Make a "water bath" by placing the baking dish into a large pan that has an inch of hot water in it.
  • Pour the pudding mixture into the baking dish. Stir so all the rice is evenly distributed in the pan.
  • Bake for 20 minutes.
  • Stir pudding to mix the rice again. Continue to bake for 40 more minutes or until the pudding is set or firm to the touch.
  • NOTE:.
  • I find that when pouring "soupy stuff" like for a pudding, it is best to put the pan on the oven shelf and pour the pudding into it rather than try to trek over to the oven.

PURPLE JASMINE COCONUT RICE RECIPE



Purple Jasmine Coconut Rice Recipe image

Tthe hugely popular Burma Superstar restaurant here in San Francisco. Drive by any night of the week and you'll find a line out the door, people patiently waiting for a seat inside the modest-sized, one room dining area. Lots of praises of the samusa soup, tea leaf and rainbow salads - and you should never leave without a side...

Provided by Penny Hall

Categories     Rice Sides

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups purple jasmine rice (or substitute white jasmine rice)
1 cup unsweetened coconut milk (don't use lite)
1 1/2 cups water
1 teaspoon fine grain sea salt
4 medium shallots, thinly sliced
1/4 cup unsalted butter
a handful of cashews, chopped and toasted

Steps:

  • 1. Start by rinsing the rice. You can do this by putting the rice in the thick-bottomed pan it is going to cook in. Fill the pot halfway with water, swish the rice around (the water will get cloudy), and pour out the cloudy water. Repeat 3 times. The water might still be a bit cloudy, and that is o.k. To the rinsed (and drained) rice add the coconut milk, water, and salt. Stir to combine. Place the pot over medium high heat and bring the liquid to a boil (uncovered). Stir often to prevent the rice from scorching down at the bottom of the pot. Once the liquid comes to a boil reduce the heat to a low, low simmer, cover the pot tightly with a lid. Cook for about 15- 20 more minutes (resisting the urge to peek). Remove from heat (still covered!), and let the rice steam for another 10-15. While the rice is cooking cook up the shallots in a small frying pan over medium to medium-high heat. Too hot and you'll burn the butter instead of browning it. Add the butter to the pan, then stir in the shallots and a couple pinches of salt. Stir every few minutes letting the shallots brown increasingly until they are dark in color. Transfer to a paper towel until ready to use. I fluff the rice in the pot so I don't completely dirty up the edges of my serving bowl or platter. Transfer the rice to desired serving vessel and sprinkle with cashews and the crispy shallots. Serves 4 to 6.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality jasmine rice: Look for fragrant jasmine rice that is long-grain and has a slightly sweet aroma.
  • Rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking: This removes starch and helps the rice cook evenly.
  • Use the right ratio of rice to water: For coconut jasmine rice, a ratio of 1:1.5 is ideal.
  • Add salt to the cooking water: This helps to enhance the flavor of the rice.
  • Cook the rice over medium heat: This helps to prevent the rice from sticking to the pot and burning.
  • Do not stir the rice while it is cooking: This can break the grains and make the rice mushy.
  • Fluff the rice with a fork before serving: This helps to separate the grains and make the rice light and fluffy.

Conclusion:

Coconut jasmine rice is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of dishes. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it simple or flavorful, coconut jasmine rice is a great choice for any occasion.
