Time 2h10m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups basmati rice
1 (10 ounce) can unsweetened coconut milk
2 ¾ cups water
2 large limes, juiced
2 tablespoons peanut butter
¼ cup sesame oil
1 teaspoon fish sauce
1 teaspoon curry paste
1 clove garlic, crushed
¼ cup flaked coconut, toasted
½ cup raisins
¼ cup slivered almonds, toasted

Steps:

  • In a saucepan, combine the rice, coconut milk and water. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the rice has absorbed all of the liquid. Set aside to cool down.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the lime juice, peanut butter, sesame oil, fish sauce, curry paste and garlic. Taste, and adjust the flavor of the dressing to your liking.
  • When the rice has cooled, stir in the dressing along with the coconut, raisins and almonds. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, and up to one day.
