Thai Coconut Rice

My husband comes up with a lot of the savory recipes on this blog.  This Thai Coconut Rice is one of his creations.  He loved it so much that he declared, “This ranks right up there with the Peanut Noodle Stir Fry!”  If you have made that recipe, then you know that is a high compliment.  He made this a little spicy, but you can certainly omit the jalapeno pepper if you don’t want the heat. Some of the other recipes he has made are Homemade Sriracha and Sweet Potato Chili.

  1. Oh, that looks good. I'm definitely trying that one. I just made a red curry soup for dinner. I love, love, love anything with coconut milk in it.
      1. Not the rice. Just cooked a small amount and it cooked just fine. Used the correct ingredients and amounts listed in the recipe. Who knows? Anybody?
  2. This is pretty bland (even with two jalapeños I added), it definitely needs sea salt, but I might consider adding some red curry paste, or maybe some natural peanut butter in with the coconut milk. Not sure, but something was definitely missing. Willing to try again though with some additions. Thanks for sharing.
    1. Hi Laura! Thanks for making the recipe. I went back and looked at it and noticed salt was not on the ingredient list. :( We actually did add sea salt to taste. I have edited the recipe. I think curry paste would be an excellent addition. :)
  3. Love the recipe.. but having problems with printing. It's coming out as 3 pages. I'm trying to print several other recipes and each photo prints as well. Each recipe is now printing as 2 or 3 pages. What happened??!!
