Thai Coconut Rice with Peanut Sauce
Ingredients
For the Coconut Rice:
- 1½ cups dry jasmine rice or basmati rice (I used basmati)
- 1 (15 oz) can unsweetened coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup water
For the Salad:
- 1 bell pepper (yellow, orange or red), finely chopped
- 1/2 red cabbage, shredded
- 1½ cups shredded carrots
- 1 small red onion, finely diced
- 1 cup cilantro, chopped
- 1 cup cashews, finely chopped
For the Ginger Peanut Sauce:
- 1/2 cup peanut butter (crunchy for extra texture)
- 2 tablespoons sweeet chili sauce
- 2 table spoons of soy sauce
- 1-3 tablespoons of Sriracha
- 1 can of coconut milk
- juice of 1 Lime
- Lime wedges
Directions
- Rinse the dry rice well until the water runs clear.
- In a medium-sized pot, mix together the rice, coconut milk, salt, and water. Cover and bring to a boil.
- Once the pot reaches a rolling boil, reduce heat to low and let simmer for 20minutes.
- After 20minutes, turn off heat and let sit (with lid on) for an additional 10 minutes.
- As you wait for the rice, make the peanut sauce.
- In a medium bowl, combine all the ingredients for peanut sauce. Mix well. If the sauce is too thin add more peanut butter. Should be ketchup consistency.
- Fluff the rice and combine it with the chopped vegetables and cashews (I reserve a few whole cashews to garnish with, but it's not necessary). Drizzle with a bit of the Ginger Peanut Sauce and taste-- you most likely will not need to use all of it.
- Serve with lime wedges.
