Coconut-Ginger Rice
Jasmine rice steamed with shallots, ginger, lemon grass and coconut yields a richly aromatic side dish that's perfect with Southeast Asian mains. Rice cooked with all coconut milk was too rich and heavy. A combination of water and coconut milk made for light, fluffy grains. Using unrefined coconut oil reinforced the coconut flavor.

Tip
Don't use the rice without first rinsing and draining. Rinsing removes excess starch that would otherwise make the cooked grains heavy and gluey.

Wonderful base for ginger curry beef skewers
This was a super easy and flavorful side. It worked beautifully with the Ginger-Curry Beef Skewers. Lovely balance.

This rice is so delicious and versatile! Its totally worth it even if you don't have the shallots, lemongrass, or ginger on hand.
