Introducing: Spicy Mango Coconut Rice

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m sharing a recipe that’s perfect for those days when you’re craving something exotic and flavorful. My spicy mango coconut rice is a unique blend of sweetness, heat, and creaminess that will transport your taste buds to a tropical paradise. Let’s dive into the delicious details!

Ingredients:

• 1 ripe mango, diced (about 200g)
• 400ml coconut milk
• 2 Thai chili peppers, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
• 1 cup Jasmine rice (200g), rinsed
• 250ml vegetable broth
• Handful of fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 lime, juiced

Kitchen Tools:

• saucepan
• knife
• grater
• cutting board
• wooden spoon

Preparation:

Start by heating the coconut milk in a saucepan over medium heat until it starts to simmer. Add in the diced mango, Thai chili peppers, and grated ginger. Let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes to blend the flavors.

Next, add the rinsed Jasmine rice and vegetable broth to the saucepan. Stir well to combine all the ingredients. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the saucepan with a lid and let the rice simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed the liquid.

Once the rice is cooked, remove the saucepan from the heat. Add in the chopped cilantro and lime juice, and stir everything together gently. Let the rice sit, covered, for a few more minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Tip:

For an extra burst of flavor, try toasting the rice in a dry saucepan before adding the liquid. This step will enhance the nuttiness of the Jasmine rice and add a lovely depth to the dish.

Serving:

Serve the spicy mango coconut rice hot, garnished with additional cilantro leaves and a lime wedge for a fresh citrus kick. This dish pairs wonderfully with grilled fish or spicy tofu for a complete meal that’s sure to delight your taste buds.
