  • 4

Ingredients

  • 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)

Preparation

Step 1

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.
