Coconut Pineapple Rice Recipes

COCONUT RICE

Steps:

• Rinse the rice several times until the water runs clear. Drain the rice.
• In a medium pot, over high heat, add the rice, broth, and coconut milk and bring to a boil. Once boiling, turn the heat to low and cover with tight fitting lid; let cook for 20 minutes.
• Turn off heat, and without opening the lid, let it sit for another 10 minutes to finish steaming.
• Fluff the rice with a fork and mix in the pineapple, soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, and scallions.
• Top with any of the other recommended mix-ins and drizzle a touch more soy sauce, if desired.

THAI-STYLE PINEAPPLE-COCONUT RICE

Steps:

• Combine the rice with 2 cups water and the coconut milk in a saucepan. Bring to a rapid simmer, then cover and simmer gently until the water is absorbed, about 30 to 35 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil in a stir- fry pan or a wide skillet. Add the onion and saute over medium heat until golden.
• Add the broccoli, bell pepper, and carrots. Turn the heat up to medium-high and stir-fry for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the vegetables are just tender-crisp.
• Add the tomatoes and pineapple chunks and continue to stir-fry for a minute or two, just until the tomatoes soften slightly.
• Stir in the cooked rice, curry powder, and ginger. Stir gently until all the ingredients are completely combined. Since about half the can of coconut milk is remaining, if you'd like the mixture to be a bit more moist, add 1/4 cup or so more, but take care not to make the mixture soupy.
• Season with salt and red pepper flakes. Serve at once, passing around crushed nuts to top individual servings, if desired.
