Stop Cooking your Rice with Water!! Thai Coconut Jasmine Rice

[@janisrozario]

In Malaysia…this rice method is called ‘nasi lemak’- a national favourite!

[@thaikitchenwithrinda]

Yes, nasi lemak is such a delicious and iconic dish! The combination of coconut milk rice, sambal, anchovies, peanuts, and boiled egg is absolutely irresistible. Do you have a favourite version or side to go with it? 😋"

[@pamelastorer8570]

When you drain the wash water before cooking save it for your pot plants. It’s very nutritious for them

[@peterdoe2617]

Good idea! Thanks!

[@whymillie]

Thank you. Aunty. This will also help to reduce the glucose because of the high fat in coconut.❤

[@thaikitchenwithrinda]

You're welcome! Yes, coconut does have healthy fats that can help with glucose control in moderation. Thx 🙏 for visiting us 😎

Thanks for the delicious recipe. One question: what is that beautiful ranad music at the beginning and at the end of your video? Thank you Khop khun krap. 🙏

[@thaikitchenwithrinda]

That is call Ranat Ek, beautiful music and I love it ka.

[@RaniRani-ls9fv]

Hi Rinda can't wait to make it after I get home, I looked for this recipe, how about it because I ate this rice in front of the hotel where we stayed in Kuala Lumpur, very delicious, thank you Rinda God Bless You

[@thaikitchenwithrinda]

Great! Let me know if you needed help 😎

[@ymasea25]

The rice meal you ate in Kuala Lumpur is called Nasi Lemak - a favourite breakfast meal for Malaysians as well as another favourite which is Roti Canai. Basic Nasi Lemak is creamy coconut rice, anchovies sambal, cucumber slices, boiled/fried egg and maybe fried peanuts. But now to cater for popular demand, a variety of sambal/sauce as well as side dishes are offered e.g. beef/chicken/seafood rendang, fried chicken/seafood etc. 😊

Coconut milk is a saturated fat, not for slimmers 🎉🎉

[@mohammaddavoudian7897]

Very nice, thank you. What do you mean by naka? Please explain.

[@thaikitchenwithrinda]

"na ka" There is no translation in English, the word "na ka" using by women or " na krup" using by men, we place these words at the end of sentence for politeness when we speaking or writing in Thai. Hope this helps. If you have questions re my recipe please let me know. Thank you 🙏

[@carolinarivera1652]

Very nice

[@thaikitchenwithrinda]

Thx 🙏 for visiting us 😎

[@johnlay3040]

It tastes good, of course. Very rich, and fragrant, especially if you add pandan leaves and lemon grass as well. Rice cooked in coconut milk should only be eaten occasionally. It is not a healthy daily option. Plain rice cooked in water is a good daily option.

[@thaikitchenwithrinda]

Absolutely! Adding pandan leaves and lemongrass takes the flavor to the next level-so fragrant and delicious! 🌿🍚 And you're right, coconut milk rice is a treat best enjoyed in moderation, while plain rice is a great everyday staple. It's all about balance and enjoying different flavours when the occasion calls for it! 😎

[@whymillie]

That is not true. High quality coconut milk (without added sugar and chemical( s high in natural fat and protein. It's very healthy. It's a good vegan option. Serve with some nice vegetables.

[@johnlay3040]

@whymillie The fat in coco milk is saturated fat. Our livers use it to make cholesterol. That's a medical fact. Don't say it's not true. Please talk to professional dieticians, not the half-baked vegans. You have been misled by the misinformed hippies. There is a high incidence of people with clogged up arteries in South-east Asia because their diets are very high in freshly squeezed coconut milk, not the "claimed high quality" milk as you know it in the West. In Indonesia nearly every food contains coco milk, not only meal, but dessert too. People don't live to their old age there. Heart attacks and strokes are the common causes. If you choose to live in a misleading world, please keep that to yourself, but don't drag other people into it.

[@thaikitchenwithrinda]

If fresh coconut is available in your area, use it-it will enhance the flavour significantly 😎

[@vydel]

I will have to try this! Thank you.

[@thaikitchenwithrinda]

Thx 🙏 for visiting us 😁 Let me know how your coconut rice turns out😁

[@shuilong52]

nice if add pandan leave

[@gemlawrence2346]

You said don't cook the rice with water but you add water to the coconut milk I don't use salt what else I use instead of the salt

[@thaikitchenwithrinda]

There are so many delightful ways to cook and enjoy jasmine rice! While it’s often prepared by simply boiling it in water, why not try something new? Cooking jasmine rice with coconut milk is a popular twist that adds a wonderful flavor. For balance, I diluted the coconut milk with water to keep the rice from tasting too sweet (as coconut milk is a common ingredient in Thai desserts) and added a pinch of salt to enhance the savory notes. Of course, if you’d rather skip the salt, feel free to leave it out-you can still enjoy delicious coconut rice. We’d love to hear how it turns out for you! 😎

[@Charly-in-the-808]

What does “na-ha” mean?

[@praveends2703]

I also checked the comments to find out if someone explained that ... May be just her way of speaking English

[@vincentchen9691]

🔥🔥

[@markr7050]

Can I use brown Jasmine rice?

[@thaikitchenwithrinda]

You could try brown Jasmine rice and let us know how it turns out.😎

[@bibianamey4272]

Ika wannaka tryka thiska nowka😊

[@thaikitchenwithrinda]

😅

[@r.t.9881]

DO I HAVE TO ADD SALT?

[@thaikitchenwithrinda]

Salt enhances the flavor of rice. You can try cooking rice without salt and share how it turns out. 😎

[@Bellatutu1927]

I thought no water😊

[@anastacionieves7568]

you say no water

[@thaikitchenwithrinda]

Great observation! What I meant was to minimize water in the recipe and let the coconut milk shine as the main liquid for flavor. A small amount of water helps balance things out during cooking. Thanks for pointing that out! 😁

[@andrewtupu8575]

What do you mean stop cooking your rice with water? It's look like more water than the coconut milk!

[@wilsontang4745]

Isn’t the caption an oxymoron, you just used water with coconut milk to cook the rice?

[@thaikitchenwithrinda]

Good catch! While it might seem like an oxymoron, the caption is a playful nod to the idea of keeping the dish simple and wholesome, even with the use of coconut milk and water. The coconut milk adds flavour, but it’s still very much about highlighting natural, uncomplicated ingredients. Hope you enjoy the recipe! 😎

[@ladybugleader]

i think people commenting about you using water with the coconut milk are misunderstanding you on purpose! to avoid any confusion, can change the title to “stop cooking your rice with ONLY water”

[@thaikitchenwithrinda]

Thanks 🙏 for getting it! That’s a great suggestion. By the way the title just to grab the audience's attention! I’ll discuss with my editor re-update the title to make it clearer.😎

למה לכתוב כותרת לא נכונה? בישול אורז בלי מים רק עם שתי כוסות מים. למה לשקר? אני לא רוצה לראות שוב אתר כזה.

שלום, תודה על התגובה שלך. אנחנו מעריכים את המשוב ומצטערים אם הייתה אי הבנה. הכותרת נועדה למשוך עניין, אבל אנחנו מבינים את החשיבות של דיוק. נשתדל להבהיר יותר בתכנים הבאים שלנו. נשמח אם תיתן לנו הזדמנות לשפר ולהשתפר!

[@TIL8OR9]

Terrible tutorial Nothing learnt whatsoever

[@thaikitchenwithrinda]

I appreciate the feedback. If there’s something specific you were hoping to learn, let me know-I’d be happy to clarify!

[@louisogg9769]

You say stop cooking your rice with water but you added water to the rice with the coconut milk ???????????

[@thaikitchenwithrinda]

Good question! The key difference is that instead of cooking rice only with water, I'm suggesting using coconut milk (which contains water) to enhance the flavour and texture. Coconut milk adds richness and creaminess that plain water alone can't provide. It's about maximizing taste while still using moisture to cook the rice properly!

[@janetroth782]

Very funny watched coz she said without water 😂

[@MelissaThompson432]

Stir coconut milk into water and then tell me it's water. It's watered milk. She used watered milk. 🤷
