You want to make coconut rice that people eat and keep asking for more.
Use this recipe below.
First thing first, prepare a good coconut milk, enough of it. Whether you want to buy from the store or you are DIY just get the best coconut, grate, soak in warm water then blend and juice out. Keep juicing until all the milk is out then set aside.
Ingredients
Long grain rice (washed and set aside)
Coconut milk
Protein (fish, meat)
Habenero pepper
Onions
Seasoning cube
Whole tomatoes (2/3)
Ginger and garlic
Salt.
Crayfish (optional)
Method
1. Heat up oil and Sautee ginger, garlic and onions until it's fragrant.
2. Add the washed rice and stir fry for 6 - 7 minutes, pour in the stock just about 1/4 of the entire liquid needed.
3. Pour 1/2 of the coconut milk, add Habenero pepper, fish, etc
4. Adjust the seasoning and allow it to boil then reduce the heat.
5. When the water has dried a bit, add the remaining coconut milk to the rice, to completely get into the rice and simmer it, then add the chopped whole tomatoes, I can't say but I like how this gives my coconut rice a beautiful look.
Not much but like 2/3 depends on the quantity of rice.
6. You can cover with a foil to trap the flavours within.
7. Once the rice is completely tender, take off the heat and serve.
Key note: if you want to use Crayfish, endure it doesn't overshadow the taste of the coconut milk. The essence of coconut rice, is the milky feel of the coconut.
Use enough onions.
