Basmati Rice With Coconut Milk And Ginger image

A perfectly cooked pot of plain white rice is a beautiful thing indeed. But basmati rice that's been cooked in a mixture of chicken broth and coconut milk then seasoned with a little chopped fresh ginger and scallions? That's borderline transcendent. The ginger doesn't overpower the rice here - you'll taste the mellow coconut first and the kicky notes of ginger second - so it makes an ideal accompaniment to stir-fries and braises.

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups Basmati rice
1 1/2 cups coconut milk
1 cup chicken broth
1 teaspoon kosher salt, more to taste
3 scallions, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons finely chopped ginger
Fresh red chile, sliced, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Place rice in a fine strainer, and rinse with cold water until water runs clear. Transfer to a medium saucepan. Add 1 cup water, coconut milk, chicken broth and salt. Cover, and place over medium-high heat. Bring liquid to a boil, then reduce and simmer until liquid has been absorbed and rice is tender, about 15 minutes.
  • Remove from heat, and stir in scallions and ginger. Add a little more coconut milk if rice is too dry. Season to taste with salt. Serve.I made this in a rice cooker on the brown rice setting and it turned out great. I used brown basmati rice because that's what I had, but the rest of the ingredients were as written.
