So I'm gonna show you how I make a very simple coconut rice in a rice cooker .
Here are all my ingredients .
So before I start assembling the ingredients , I am going to clean with water , four cups of raw rice .
OK ?
So here is my washed rice .
I drained it a couple of times .
And what I'm going to do now is combine the ingredients , which is coconut milk .
I got it from a can some coconut oil which gives it the really rich flavor .
And we also need to have pandan leaves for flavoring in Malaysia .
You can just get it in the garden , but it's really expensive in Australia .
And then I'm gonna pound some ginger and lemon grass that is just basically to get all the juices out .
And then we put some salt and some sugar and don't forget we need to add extra water .
OK ?
So let's just do this now and put in the coconut milk and then I'll put in some coconut oil .
Normally they wouldn't use coconut oil in the stalls .
This is just that it is more healthy apparently compared to normal oil .
So it just gives it a nice sheen that the rice will have later on when you can tell .
And it also tastes more coconut tea , which I really love .
Yeah .
So just two tablespoons up to you of coconut oil .
If you want to put three , that's fine .
So then now what we do is that we are going to twist the pandan leaves and put it in the rice .
OK ?
Try to get it deep in so that all the flavor will be coming out .
OK ?
So then now we put in the sugar and some salt .
So 1.5 teaspoons of salt and two teaspoons of sugar .
So let's pound the ginger .
See just a slice of ginger .
I just want to pound it so we can get all the flavors out .
OK ?
And this is the lemon grass , just pound it OK ?
This is a really big piece of lemon grass .
You can cut it as well .
Um Maybe I should cut it and this one OK ?
So two pieces of lemon grass .
Hm I love the smell of lemon grass .
OK ?
I'm gonna cut this , hide it in between the rice .
Can you see how many flavors are inside this rice ?
OK .
So you will notice that it's actually quite thick now , so we need to dilute this by putting in water .
So we'll add another two rice cups of water .
Yeah .
OK .
So as a rule of thumb , it is up to the first line of your finger , you can put in less water .
But this is how I've been taught how to cook rice .
OK ?
So let's just put it inside the rice pot and then we will just hit cook .
The rice is all ready .
It is currently on warm and it's been sitting in the rice cooker for the last half an hour on warm .
Um If you were to have a look at the rice , can you see all the coconut has come to the top ?
So what we need to do is that we need to mix it all in .
Yeah , just mix it in because now all the coconut is on top .
All the yummy flavors coming out .
Hm .
