This is my fool proof coconut fried rice recipe, the secret to good fried rice is to make sure the prepared rice is completely cool before mixing it into the stir fried vegetables.
Ingredients:
Coconut milk – 2 cups
Rice – 2 cups
Water or Stock – 1 cup
Maggi – 2 cubes
Salt- To taste
Curry, thyme and nutmeg – 1/2 teaspoon each
Oil – 1/4 cup
Onion (chopped) – 1/2 of a medium
Mixed vegetables – 1 cup
Green pepper (chopped) – 1 large
Shrimps pre cooked (optional) – 1 cup
Directions:
Place a pot on medium heat, add in the coconut milk, water, salt, curry, thyme , nutmeg and one maggi cube. Combine.
Cover the pot until the mixture comes to a rolling boil
Add in the rice. Simmer on below medium heat until rice is cooked and there is no more liquid in the rice . Set aside to cool
In a large skillet, heat up the oil. Add in the chopped onions, green pepper , maggi and mixed vegetable. Stir fry for 3- 5 minutes
Add in already cooked rice and shrimps. Combine.
Taste and adjust for seasoning. Simmer for 3 more minutes.
