Pilau Riceby Dawn T in Rouxbe Videos Fluffy white rice cooked with coconut milk and finished with green onions, cilantro and crispy fried onions.
|
Step 1: Preparing the Rice
|
|
Heat up the rice cooker then add the oil and diced onions and sauté until translucent. Then add the rice and sauté for a few minutes until the rice is coated in the oil and slightly translucent. Add the cold water, coconut milk, salt and pepper. Place the lid on the rice cooker (making sure the rice cooker is still on, and has not switched to the warm setting). Let cook for approximately twenty minutes, or until it switches off indicating that the rice is done.
Now serve and enjoy!

Notes
When making this rice, just be sure to add the cilantro, green onions and crispy fried onions right before serving.
You can use any kind of long grain white rice but basmati or jasmine have a natural fragrance that helps make this Pilau Rice so fantastic.
Also, you can make crispy fried onions yourself, but I prefer to buy them because they're inexpensive, cooked to perfection and have a long shelf life.

I put a full cup of coconut milk in this...i LOVE coconut milk so figured it would taste even better!
Well i was wrong. the rice looked super gross and the coconut taste was way too perfumey.
c'est la vie. the onions kick ass tho!
I have tried all reciepes and I don't think I can live without rouxbe again, I'm hooked for life. Please send some reciepes with lamb, veal chops, sqid and calamaries. Everything is so detailed and easy to understand, wonderful keep up the good work and keep us happy cooking with new reciepes. I'll keep the friendship list coming.

This really turned out well. Next time I plan to try it with flat leaf parsley rather than cilantro as I'm not the biggest cilantro fan in the world. I made this with the pancetta wrapped halibut. excellent meal.
Hi,
we tried to cook this great recipe. it was very tasty! I cant forget this taste.
Regrettably, rice was very soft. maybe... we misunderstood quantity of water.
we should try it again soon!!

This was a very tasty recipe, fun mix of textures, easy to make and all around great stuff.
easy to make in a very ruchy day..
An easy way to add colour to rice is to put in a half teaspoon of turmeric. Just add it to the rice while it cooks, and you'll get a nice yellow colour. A lot of people like the added colour. I am a big rice buff, and to me rice is rice (I love it anyway). But if you want it to look really yummy, try the turmeric trick.
Is there a recipe for these?
Hi Farissa,
You can follow the same process for making crispy fried onions by referring to this recipe for Fried Shallots. Whichever onion you choose to fry, whether it is a red onion, yellow onion or shallot, just make sure the slices are very thin and all of the same size so they cook evenly. Hope this helps.
Thanks Kimberley
I will try it...=)
In Cartagena de Indias , Colombia we always as atypical dish brown coconut rice and I am now doing it with crispy onions,it is just delicius.
thanks Dawn
Great dish ! the coconut milk in it is superb.
I made it with my own crispy onions ... next time i will buy. For sure it will upgarde it.
I love this rice. I haven't made it in a long time. It's time to use those coconuts in the garden for some fresh coconut milk. This is very good. Very sexy voice too.
