Denne Creamy Coconut Jasmine Rice is a delicious creamy sticky rice with coconut flavors that is perfect as a side dish to any curry. It’s klar på 30 minutter, 100% vegan, cooked in dairy-free coconut milk and lime juice.
We love curry, like my Tofu rød karry, Vegansk kikærtekarry eller Tofusmør 'Kylling', and there’s nothing better than sticky coconut rice as a side to Indian or Chinese style dishes! So here’s our recipe for a creamy, slightly sticky restaurant-style coconut rice made from Jasmine rice.
Ingredienser og erstatninger
It’s very simple to make coconut rice at home. You need only 6 ingredients and a few simple steps to achieve the best rice side dish ever!
- Long-Grain Jasmine Rice – We used white rice and didn’t try the recipe with brown rice. Time and amount of liquid will increase if you use brown rice because the amount of fiber is higher in brown rice varieties. Plus, brown rice doesn’t add the same creamy texture to coconut rice, so it’s not a recommended option.
- Kokosmælk på dåse – Shake the can very well before opening.
- Grøntsagslager – or just more water if you don’t have any.
- Limesaft – You can also use lemon juice.
- Sugar or Coconut Sugar – To make the rice a bit sweet.
How To Make Coconut Jasmine Rice
- First, to make a delicious coconut jasmine rice, it’s important to rinse the rice to remove all its starch. To do so, place rice in a saucepan, the one you are going to use to cook your rice.
- Add about 2 cups of cold tap water. Stir the rice gently with your hands or a wooden spoon until the water becomes white and cloud due to the rice releasing its starch.
- Next, filter the rice over a sieve to remove the cloudy water and repeat the steps 4 to 6 times until the water becomes clear.
- When the water is not cloudy anymore, add rice, coconut milk, water, vegetable stock, lime juice, and sugar into the saucepan. Cover, place over the stove over medium heat, and bring to boil.
- When the liquid starts boiling, reduce the heat, stir, cover, and simmer for 12 minutes. Stop the heat, remove the lid and keep the rice in the saucepan for 8 more minutes.
- Transfer the rice to a large dish and, using a fork, fluff the rice to loosen it. Let the rice steam out in the dish for 15 minutes next to an opened window to accelerate the process. Serve as a side to any curry you love.
