Categories     Side Dish

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup unsweetened full-fat canned coconut milk
2 cup Carolina long-grain rice
1/2 cup scallions (thinly sliced)
salt and pepper
1/4 cup canola oil

Steps:

  • Combine the coconut milk, 2 teaspoons salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and 1 cup water in a medium saucepan and bring to boil over high heat. Stir in the rice and bring back to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook until the liquid has been absorbed and the rice is tender, about 18 minutes.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and let sit, covered for 5 minutes. Remove the lid and fluff the rice with a fork. Spread the rice in an even layer over a large baking sheet and let cool completely, about 30 minutes. The rice can be made up to 24 hours in advance; store it on a baking sheet, covered with plastic wrap, in the refrigerator.
  • Combine the rice and scallions in a large bowl. Heat the oil in a large cast-iron or nonstick pan over high heat until it begins to shimmer. Add the rice and, using a heavy-duty metal spatula, immediately press the rice down into the pan until the top is flat. Cook, without stirring, until the bottom has become golden brown and crispy, about 5 minutes (start checking at 4 minutes, making sure not to burn it). Turn the rice over and press down firmly on the top again. Cook until the bottom is golden brown and crispy, about 5 minutes more. Transfer to a platter, sprinkle with more scallions, and serve.

STICKY COCONUT CHICKEN AND RICE



Sticky Coconut Chicken and Rice image

This comforting one-pot chicken dish features fragrant coconut rice infused with aromatic ginger, garlic and scallion, and studded with toasty cashews. The cashews soften as the rice steams, adding subtle nuttiness to the dish. Chicken thighs absorb the coconut milk as they cook, which keeps the meat tender and juicy. Fresh chopped cilantro brightens the dish, while hot sauce adds nice heat and tang to balance the creamy, rich and slightly sweet rice.

Categories     dinner, weekday, poultry, main course

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, each thigh cut into 2 equal-size pieces
1/4 cup neutral oil, such as safflower or canola
2 teaspoons kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 1/2 cups short-grain white rice, rinsed until water runs clear
1 3/4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 (13.5-ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
1 yellow bell pepper, cored, seeded and chopped (½-inch pieces)
1/2 cup roasted cashews, coarsely chopped
3 scallions, green and white parts, thinly sliced (½ packed cup)
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped cilantro
Hot sauce, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. Rub chicken with 1 tablespoon of oil, and season with 1 teaspoon of salt and ¼ teaspoon of pepper.
  • In a large Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium. Working in two batches, brown chicken, turning halfway, until no longer pink, around 5 minutes per batch. Transfer to a plate.
  • Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, the ginger and the garlic to the empty pot, and stir until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add rice and stir until evenly coated in the oil. Add broth, coconut milk, bell pepper, cashews, scallions and the remaining 1 teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Stir to lift up any browned bits on the bottom of the pot. Arrange chicken on top, add any accumulated juices from the plate and bring to a boil over high.
  • Cover and bake until all of the liquid is absorbed, rice is tender and chicken is cooked through, 25 minutes. Scatter cilantro over the chicken and rice, then divide among bowls. Serve with hot sauce.

STICKY RICE WITH ROAST CHICKEN AND SCALLION OIL



Sticky Rice with Roast Chicken and Scallion Oil image

Whenever we have left over garlicky roast chicken, my family prepares this simple sticky rice dish, which we typically eat for breakfast, though it would be fine for lunch, too. If you don't have time to roast your own chicken, you can use store-bought rotisserie chicken. Try to shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces as thick as a chopstick.

Yield serves 2 or 3 as a light main course, or 4 to 6 as a side dish

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups short-grain sticky rice
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups hand-shredded Garlicky Oven-Roasted Chicken (page 80), preferably leg or thigh pieces with the skin removed
1/4 cup Scallion Oil Garnish (page 314)
Fish sauce, light (regular) soy sauce, and/or Maggi Seasoning sauce

Steps:

  • Put the rice in a bowl and add water to cover by 1 inch. Let stand for at least 2 hours (or even overnight).
  • Dump the rice into a colander and rinse under cold running water. Give the colander a few shakes to expel extra water and then return the rice to the bowl. Toss the rice with the salt.
  • Fill the steamer pan halfway with water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. If you are concerned about cleanup and/or the rice falling through the holes of the steamer tray, line the tray with a piece of parchment paper or banana leaf, leaving a few holes uncovered for heat circulation. Pour the rice into the tray, keeping it 1 inch away from the edge where condensation will collect.
  • Place the tray in the steamer, cover, and steam the rice for 20 minutes, or until the grains are shiny, tender, and slightly chewy. To ensure even cooking, give the rice a big stir with chopsticks or a spatula 2 or 3 times during steaming. Take care when lifting the lid that you don't allow any condensation to drip onto the rice and that you are not burned by the steam. After each stirring, gather the grains back into a mound in the center, leaving a 1-inch border between the rice and the edge of the steamer tray. When the rice is done, lower the heat to keep it hot. (The rice may be steamed up to 2 hours in advance and left at room temperature. Before serving, resteam it until hot.)
  • To serve, warm the chicken in the microwave oven or in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. It doesn't need to be piping hot, just soft and juicy. Turn off the steamer, fluff the rice with chopsticks or a large spoon, and then spoon it onto a platter or 2 plates, spreading it out into a 1-inch-thick layer. Arrange the chicken on top and then distribute the scallion oil evenly over the chicken. Serve with the condiments. Eat with chopsticks or a fork.

LIGHT COCONUT RICE



Light Coconut Rice image

I had coconut rice at The Rum Jungle in Las Vegas a few years ago and I've been trying to duplicate it ever since. I still haven't gotten it quite like theirs, but I've made it enough times to figure out what works best. Most recipes use coconut milk, but I felt like it made the rice too sticky and heavy, so I use coconut water. You can usually find this with other exotic fruit juices such as guava and mango and it comes in a can with a pop top like soda. It also usually contains pulp (or "jelly"); this adds a nice flavor.

Time 20m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup jasmine rice
1 1/2 cups coconut water
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon powdered ginger (optional)
1 teaspoon sugar (optional)

Steps:

  • Boil water, coconut water, ginger and sugar in a saucepan and bring to a boil. More or less ginger and sugar can be used to taste.
  • Stir in rice.
  • Reduce heat and cover. Let simmer for about 15 minutes or until all the water is absorbed.

Tips:

  • Use fresh coconut milk. Fresh coconut milk is thicker and creamier than canned coconut milk, and it will give your rice a richer flavor.
  • Soak the rice before cooking. Soaking the rice for at least 30 minutes will help it cook more evenly and prevent it from becoming mushy.
  • Cook the rice over low heat. Cooking the rice over low heat will help it absorb the coconut milk and other flavors without burning.
  • Add scallions and other garnishes just before serving. This will help them stay fresh and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Sticky coconut rice is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served with a variety of main courses. It is also a great way to use up leftover rice. With its sweet and savory flavors, this dish is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you are looking for a new and exciting way to serve rice, give this recipe a try.
