Once again, ate it before I got a picture -.- I'm really good at that, it seems. Anyway, I created (in my mind I created it, though it probably exists somewhere...) this lovely coconut-y goodness. It's a coconut rice (which can be eaten on it's own, god knows I've done it before) with a stir-fry on top. It's a nice and yummy and gentle flavor but yummy enough that it's not boring. This should serve..... about 2-3 people as long as you guys aren't being fat. Srsly, don't hog. I'll do black text to represent the rice instructions, and green to represent the stir-fry instructions. It is in the order you'll want to do it in. That's right, I'm writing out how to manage your time in the kitchen. You're welcome.
Ingredients:
-1 cup basmati rice
-3/4 cup coconut milk (NOT WATER)
-1 1/4 cup water
-1 spring onion/green onion/scallion
-About half a pound to a pound of the stir-fry steak or strip of beef
-1 head of broccoli
-5 white mushrooms
-handfull of snap/snow peas
-1 (and a half, if you'd like) zucchini/courgette
-1/2 a small vidalia onion
-1 clove garlic
-1 1/2 tbs soy sauce
-1 cup-ish coconut milk
-1/2 tsp curry powder
- salt and pepper to taste
L-L-L-L-Let's do this.(leeerrooyyyyyyy jeeennkkinnss)
1. Put your basmati rice, coconut milk and water in a pot all together. Stir it with a fork, cover it. Set the element on high.
1. Chop up your vidalia onion first into medium dices. Turn your element on medium-low with a little bit of sesame or canola oil in the pan. Mince your garlic. Cut up your steaks if they're not already (thin, plz). Once the pan is heated, put that in.
2. Once your rice is boiling, take your fork and stir it up, then put the lid back on and let it simmer for 10 minutes. Really, time it, ten minutes. ONCE THE TEN MINUTES IS UP, DON'T LIFT THE LID!
2. Cut up your head of broccoli into smaller-than-bite-sized pieces. Slice your courgette/zucchini (fuck you, it's a zucchini) lengthwise, then slice it into 0.5 cm thick half medallions. Slice your mushrooms. De-string your snow peas and cut them in half so they're not stupidly long.
3. At the ten minute mark, turn off your element and just leave the damn pot alone for another 10 minutes. Seriously, don't lift the lid. I know you want to, but don't do it.
3. Add the coconut milk, soy sauce and curry powder to the pan once the meat is ALMOST completely brown. Stir it all up with a spatula. Let it simma down na.
4. TTHINLLYY slice your scallion/green/spring onion. Has your rice been ten minutes? Yes? Good! Open that bitch up and add your sliced onion stuff and stir it up with the fork. No, it hasn't been ten minutes? Seriously. Leave it until the answer is "yes".
4. Mix up your stuff every once in a while and let the milk evaporate (doesn't have to do it completely). Add a few shakes of your pepper and salt, stir it up one more time and serve it over your rice.
