Coconut Rice Instructions:

  1. In a medium pot, rinse the jasmine rice several times until the water runs clear. Drain any excess water and add the coconut milk, water, salt and sugar.
  2. On high heat, allow the mixture to boil. Once it starts to boil, turn the heat down to low and cook covered for 20 minutes.
  3. Uncover and continue to cook for 5 minutes. Fluff and serve.

  1. Blend all ingredients together until smooth, pour over coconut rice.
  2. Serve just like this, or add cubed tofu, or the protein of your choice (cooked shrimp, rotisserie chicken, chunks of beef, etc.)

 

This is a meal I like to eat at home, by myself or with a loved one. It makes me sweat… a lot. But, it’s just so tasty. I wouldn’t want to be in public eating it. LOL

 

* Omit the jalapeños to make it mild, and just as good!
