Pailin's Kitchen should I add more sugar if serving with salmon, shrimp and pineapple?? I am looking to do a pineapple bowl

[@kazmanscoop]

You're honestly the best chef on KZbin. There's noone out there with your level of in depth knowledge, clarity, style and charisma. Don't want to go over-the-top, but you're the real deal and I wish you every success. Thank you for this and for all your recipes!

[@azaadkarim7840]

Hi oooooooo

[@goofyleen80]

AGREED

[@somegirlyoudontknowa]

I love how you explain the details of everything!!! This is what I want in a cooking video, I want to learn why I should do this and how I can change it a bit. Found your videos today but I can't wait to explore more of your channel. You make amazing food, you explain it really well and your personality shines :D Much love from Iceland

[@nesamalarkandiah9348]

Totally agree...I like it that you give the details of why u r doing this or that 👍. Am enjoying watching the vids 💖

[@Dparrey]

Made it last night and it turned out perfectly. The toasted shredded coconut really added a lot of texture, it was a better addition than I thought.

[@donbush2954]

Was is Chiang Mai last year and loved the food! My wife and I deliberately set out to explore foods away from tourist traps and were delighted by the variety and uniqueness of the cuisine! Watching your videos and trying to recreate our culinary adventure in Thailand!

[@abeerali7834]

Made this rice yesterday. Stove top worked like a charm and tasted amazing. Toasted coconut on top added great flavor and made the dish glamorous 👌Thank you so much 🥰

[@tnichlsn]

your videos are so great. you manage to answer every question that I can think of during the video. a great teacher and a great chef. thanks.

i love the way she explains the differenciations when it comes to flavor

[@msjuju1109]

In Panama, it’s served with fried fish, fried plantains, and salad. I have to try this! Thank you for posting. I was questioning the ratios of water:coconut milk.

[@Agentkozbee]

This looks yummy. I am adding this to my list of recipes to try. Thank you for sharing.

[@grayson75]

nice! I like pandan leaf in this rice dish it gives a unique flavor. I don't add much salt while cooking because the coconut milk enhances the salt flavour and can be over powering. I cook rice in saucepan on gas stove. The trick to not burning bottom is to stir once after cooking for about 10 minutes and adding a little bit extra fluid if looking to dry. If you feel the rice might still burn at bottom, turn the heat off but leave the lid on to continue the steaming process for another 5 minutes. You don't want to stir too much because rice can get mashy. I love this rice with chicken rendang.

[@blkbtrfly76]

Delicious! Just finished making this. The rice had a rich buttery flavor with a hint of coconut taste.

[@genevekisson8639]

You’re such a awesome teacher. Definitely gonna try this

[@alohaaloha4601]

Im Filipino and Thai foods becomes part of my regular dishes, i already, been cooking 4 kinds, such as green curry, tom yan kun soup, pad thai and chicken basil... and looking forward to make that green papaya salads.

[@pharvathykulasekaran6848]

This is called 'nasi lemak' in Malaysia...our staple. We eat it with anchovy sambal which is spicy 🌶 and like you said we add pandan leaf

[@goofyleen80]

Just made a double batch in my Aroma rice cooker, exactly as you advised. To my, Wonderful surprise 😮 it came out perfect and is remarkable. I still am in awe that I made this delicious rice. I have not been able to consistently prepare rice until I started watching your channel. Thank you for taking the guesswork out of this delicious and easy recipe. I love how you educate us and teach, it's like cooking class and history at the same time. 🎉😂😊❤

[@lucyhughes6362]

[@skayei4207]

Thank you for your recipe and instructions

[@gbejue007]

Thank you for posting this recipe. It looks easy and delicious. I'm tempted to add some lime juice and zest, and green onions at the end.

[@miss_mandyjane13]

Hi Pailin!! Coconut rice is also served in EVERY Thai restaurant in Australia as well... We Love it!!! I love it particularly with all seafood stir fries and especially with curries :) mmmm Coconut rice with Choo Chee Salmon .... :)

[@bettyclark8249]

Hi, i have always made that simply because i love coconut milk. But, have never tried it with the toasted coconut on top. And yes! That looks pretty. I , by the way keep up with your channel. And i love it.. thank you so much❤

[@smithsonsmith2575]

Thank you I dry to cook the sticky rice with mango I love it

[@DStrayCat69]

Love it :-) I make mine amost the exact same way. However, I use Coconut Sugar - not white sugar... I remember my Sis-in-law had a dinner party (She's Chinese from Beijing), anyway, I made Coconut Rice and it was gone in a flash. Then everyone wanted my recipe... Sis didn't like that... being upstaged and all... lol

[@MsWagQ]

Thanks for sharing. It’s similar to the way we make Caribbean coconut rice. Only difference is a nob of coconut oil and butter, (no sugar) and add a bit of white pepper!! I love coconut rice with spicy food and sweet and sour green mango salad!! So yummy!! I usually eat the leftover rice for breakfast!! Lol A bowl of coconut rice and fried, sweet plantains!! 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤

[@royolstad8532]

Our favorite local Indian resturaunt has a coconut rice option, and my wife really likes it with any curry that's coconut based. I think it's good, too!

[@michellehan4534]

This is the best coconut rice recipe I've found so far! Love it, love it. I love it! So yummy!

[@evavan9208]

Super yummy, thanks. Love all your videos!!!!

[@aewe7120]

All your shows are very entertaining. I love your bubbly personality I am learning so much from you. THANK YOU very much.

[@risa199613]

Tastiest rice ever! I was looking for something to switch up from the plain white rice and this definitely a new favorite of mine. Made it on the stovetop following the recipe on the website and it came out great. Thank you!

[@a_maze_in_melodie]

I can't wait to try it out! What if I already have some leftover rice? Would you use the same ratio of water and coconut milk? Thanks! Wish you the best for the future

[@melodychung2405]

Made your recipe, so easy and delicious. One local eatery has their coconut rice dyed blue, so I added a drop of food coloring, still delicious. Will be using this recipe whenever I need coconut rice.

[@peterstang]

A little treat from regular rice indeed. Very good! I'll try to match it with Hainanese chicken.

[@BROILLA]

LOVE coconut rice! Good to know the perfect ratio for jasmine rice :)

[@-glanma]

Hello! I’m so glad to have found you today! I really enjoyed your video on the coconut rice and the mango salad. I’m wondering if you can do a recipe on that amazing salad yellow creamy “secret” dressing that some Thai restaurants serve. It’s sweet and creamy. I am anxious to know. It’s my all time favorite! Thanks again for your great videos and awesome personality 👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏻

[@guanho895]

[@LiloUkulele]

Love your channel !...There is no green papaya available where we live, hence no papaya salad...Can you suggest an alternate salad, maybe a cabbage, pepper, peanut and sauce?

[@Annie1962]

[@CattyMcMeow]

Just had this dish. Came to this video to find out how to make the amazing rice. Now I can remember what it was called. Mine came with turmeric-fried chicken. Delicious.

[@risingstarmeiling]

[@hassansama6534]

Waaaw very nice English talk fluently

[@Whatisthis154]

You are the best!

[@yolandafonseca5900]

I tried looking for your barbecue chicken recipe but being that it was probably filmed a while ago I can't seem to find it would you kindly link me to it thank you

[@seselechannell8049]

Hi there how about crispy whole fish with tamarind sauce.. should i make coconut rice more creamy? Thanks

[@cozyvamp]

I love your videos and your recipes, but could you put actual links to recipes in you description. The links just take me to your home page, and searching doesn't always find what I'm looking for. Like this recipe. I searched for Thai Coconut Rice and got a lot of hits, but Coconut Rice Pudding was the closest result and that's just not it. ;) Thanks for all the good info and the delicious food!

[@TheAlpineHomesteadAdirondacks]

I use coconut water and make it frequently it makes a meal

[@larrywallace2881]

Best chef on you tube

[@kurt8773]

sliced ​​apples with cinnamon, sure fit well with this.

[@OanhNguyen-nq1kx]

Can I put another side dish like pork or chicken. Egg or something ! Can I put it in coconut. Rice ?

[@CALI-ll7iv]

Yummy does it taste like coconut a lot??

[@jeffzahnd]

Well she defiantly got the title of the show right 😍

[@WNKS70]

In bali, we cooked em along with pandanus leaves for the fragrance, slice galangal, ginger, chopped shallots and garlic lol

[@drummerlovesbookworm9738]
