Coconut Scented Rice
Coconut Scent Rice
INGREDIENTS:
2 cup of rice
½ tsp Kosher salt
1 tsp olive oil
½ cup roughly chopped fresh cilantro leaves
5 fresh lime leaves (or 2 tsp fresh lime juice)
2 stalks of lemongrass, cut 2 inch long and smash for aroma
12 ounces of coconut juice
Note: Add more or less of the ingredient to taste
DIRECTIONS:
Preparation
Make rice in the rice cooker. Rinse and add coconut juice, salt, lime leaves and lemongrass so that the juice is 1 inch above the rice.
Once the rice is cooked. Fluff the rice with fork or chop-stick and add olive oil. Add more salt to taste.
Note: You can cook the rice in the medium saucepan if you don’t have a rice cooker. In a medium sauce pan, rinse rice. Combine rice with salt, lime leaves, lemongrass and coconut juice (juice should be 1 inch above the rice level). Bring to boil. Cover and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until the rice is tender and juice is absorbed, about 17 minutes. Continue on step 2 above.
