Thai Coconut Chicken And Rice Recipes

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a saucepan, except the crystallized ginger and sliced almonds.
• Stir well to combine.
• Cook over medium high heat, stirring until mixture comes to a low boil.
• Immediately reduce heat to low.
• Cover and cook for about 18 minutes.
• Fluff with a fork.
• The cover, and let sit for 5 more minutes.
• Garnish the finished rice with the candied ginger and the sliced almonds.

Steps:

• In the bottom of a pot, stir together the red curry paste and a little coconut milk to combine.
• Saute the chicken until cooked through.
• Add the rest of the ingredients and simmer 10 minutes or so, or until the peas are cooked and the sauce has reduced and thickened to desired consistency.
• Serve over hot cooked basmati or white rice.
• (I have added about a quart of chicken broth to this base recipe to make soup- adding thinly sliced mushrooms and scallions) Serve with wedges of lime.

Steps:

• Combine 1 cup of the coconut milk, the lime zest, half of the garlic, the grated ginger, brown sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Add the chicken and toss to coat. Cover and let marinate 8 hours or overnight.
• Preheat a grill to medium high. Remove the chicken from the marinade and season lightly with salt.
• Heat the coconut oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the remaining garlic and the chopped ginger. Cook, stirring, until softened but not browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the rice; cook, stirring, until slightly toasted, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the remaining coconut milk, 1 1/4 cups water and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer, then stir and reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, brush the grill with coconut oil. Grill the chicken until well marked and cooked through, about 10 minutes, flipping halfway through. Transfer to a plate and loosely cover.
• Fluff the rice with a fork. Add the broccoli, toasted coconut and scallions to the pan; toss to combine. Let sit to slightly cook the broccoli, about 2 minutes. Divide the chicken and rice among plates. Serve with lime wedges.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400 degrees. In a 9-by-13-inch/3-quart baking pan, combine 1 cup of the coconut milk with the red curry paste, peanut butter, fish sauce and garlic; whisk until blended. Season with salt and pepper. Add the chicken and carrots, then scatter the rice over everything. Add the boiling water, seal the pan tightly with foil, and bake until the rice is just tender, about 40 minutes.
• Remove the foil from the pan, scatter the broccoli florets over the rice, season with salt and pepper, then reseal with foil and bake for another 5 minutes, until the broccoli has steamed. Remove from the oven and let sit for 3 minutes.
• Meanwhile, stir the lime juice into the remaining coconut milk and season with salt and pepper. Fluff the rice with a fork and stir to mix. Serve with a drizzle of coconut sauce.

Steps:

• Heat water for noodles and cook pasta 6-8 minutes (stir-fryable) or according to package directions.
• Drain noodles, rinse under cool water and allow to drain; cut into smaller pieces if desired.
• Meanwhile, toast coconut if necessary.
• Using a whisk, mix together ingredients for sauce: coconut milk, peanut butter, soy sauce, fish sauce, garlic, curry powder, brown sugar, and cayenne pepper.
• Heat oil in large pan until almost smoking.
• Add chicken and stir-fry until almost done and nicely browned.
