Introduction

Today, I’m excited to share a unique and flavorful recipe that’s perfect for a cozy evening in or a date night at home. This dish always brings me joy with its blend of exotic spices and vibrant colors, making it a feast for both the eyes and the taste buds.

Preparation

I always begin by assembling my ingredients. For this dish, you will need:

• chilled pink guava (230g)
• honey-glazed cashews (120g)
• coconut jasmine rice (300g)
• aromatic cardamom pods (5g)
• harissa-infused olive oil (15ml)
• crispy kaffir lime leaves (10g)

Next, gather your kitchen tools:

• chef’s knife
• cutting board
• saucepan
• wooden spoon
• rice cooker

Start by slicing the chilled pink guava into thin rounds and set them aside. In a saucepan, toast the cardamom pods until fragrant, then add the coconut jasmine rice and water to cook according to package instructions. Once cooked, fluff the rice with a fork and remove the cardamom pods.

Cooking Process

In a separate pan, heat the harissa-infused olive oil and fry the crispy kaffir lime leaves until crisp. Add the sliced pink guava rounds and honey-glazed cashews to the pan, lightly caramelizing them for extra flavor.

Serving

To serve, plate a generous portion of the coconut jasmine rice, topped with the pink guava and honey-glazed cashew mixture. Drizzle any remaining cooking oil over the dish for added richness and aroma.

Tips

For an extra burst of flavor, try adding a sprinkle of chili flakes or a dash of lime juice to the dish just before serving. This will elevate the flavors and bring a delightful kick to each bite.
