Culinary Creation: Mango Coconut Rice

Today, I am excited to share a unique and delicious recipe that is perfect for adding some tropical flair to your dinner table. This Mango Coconut Rice dish reminds me of lazy days on the beach, with the sweet aroma of mango and coconut filling the air.

Ingredients:

• 250g jasmine rice
• 400ml coconut milk
• 1 ripe mango, diced
• 1 lime, juiced
• Handful of fresh cilantro, chopped
• Pinch of salt

Kitchen Tools:

• saucepan
• wooden spoon
• grater

To start, rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a saucepan, combine the rice and coconut milk, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.

Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and stir in the diced mango, lime juice, chopped cilantro, and a pinch of salt. Mix everything together gently to avoid mushing up the mango.

For a finishing touch, use a grater to zest some lime over the top of the rice before serving. The fresh citrusy aroma will brighten up the dish and add an extra layer of flavor.

This Mango Coconut Rice recipe serves 4 and has a total weight of approximately 800g. Each serving weighs around 200g, and has an estimated calorie count of 250 per serving.

A clever tip for this dish is to use slightly underripe mango for a firmer texture and subtle sweetness that balances well with the rich coconut and tangy lime flavors.

I encourage you to give this Mango Coconut Rice a try and make it your own by adding your favorite protein or veggies. Enjoy this tropical delight!
