Coconut Milk Rice
Description
This recipe involves bringing water, milk, rice, and cinnamon stick to a boil, cooking until most liquid is absorbed. Coconut milk, sugar, vanilla seeds and bean, almond extract, butter, and salt are then added and cooked uncovered over medium-low heat, frequently stirred until thickened to a pudding consistency. A slightly beaten egg yolk is stirred in off heat to add richness and creamy texture.
The finished dish is thick and creamy with a balance of sweet and aromatic flavors. The coconut milk and cinnamon offer a warm fragrance while vanilla and almond extract deepen the flavor profile. The texture is soft and pudding-like, perfect served either lukewarm or cold.
This dish makes a comforting dessert or breakfast option. Removing cinnamon stick and vanilla bean before serving ensures a smooth texture. The recipe uses common pantry ingredients with some special additions for flavor and complexity.
