A delightful and aromatic side dish featuring jasmine rice cooked in creamy coconut milk, enhanced with fresh herbs and spices.
Ingredients
1 cup jasmine rice
1 cup water
1 cup coconut milk
1 tablespoon fresh ginger
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 stalk lemongrass
3 leaves curry leaves
1 cup fresh basil
Method
Begin by thoroughly rinsing the jasmine rice under cool running water to eliminate any extra starch.
In a medium saucepan, mix the washed rice with water, rich coconut milk, grated ginger, a splash of soy sauce, chopped lemongrass, and a few curry leaves.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then lower the heat to let it simmer.
Cover and cook until the rice is soft and fluffy, approximately 10 minutes.
Once the rice is ready, gently mix in freshly chopped basil leaves for a refreshing twist.
Serve the warm rice immediately, relishing its enticing fragrance and flavor.
