COCONUT RICE

Steps:

• Rinse and drain rice in cold water. Place in a saucepan with water, coconut milk, and salt. Place the pot over high heat and, bring the liquid to a boil. Stir and reduce the heat to the lowest possible setting and cover the pot tightly with the lid. Continue cooking for 15 minutes.
• Remove the pot from the heat and let stand 10 minutes, covered. Fluff with fork and serve.

KIRIBATH (COCONUT MILK RICE)

Steps:

• Put the rice into a medium, lidded saucepan and cover with water. Swirl the rice around to wash it, drain and repeat at least twice until the water is clear. Then, add the 1 litre (about 35 fl oz/4 ¼ cups) of water and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to medium, half-cover with the lid, and cook until all the water is absorbed, about 18-20 minutes.
• Then, add the salt and coconut milk and stir into the rice. Cook uncovered over a low to medium heat until all the milk is absorbed, about 5-10 minutes depending on the rice you use. If the rice is not cooked, add extra boiling water and cook over a very low heat until soft. Take the rice off the heat and set aside for a couple of minutes to cool very slightly.
• Transfer the moist rice to a platter, and then smooth and flatten it until it is about 5cm (2 inches) tall and the same shape as the platter. You can either use a spatula, or you can put your hand inside a sandwich bag and use that to shape the rice. Put a little buttter on the spatula or the sandwich bag for a smooth effect. Leave the rice to rest for 1-2 minutes, then cut it into diamond shapes or squares while slightly warm so that the pieces do not break. Serve with Pol Sambol, Katta Sambol, or Ambul Thial.

COCONUT MILK RICE PUDDING

Repeat this process until the milk mixture is completely incorporated and the rice has a tender, yet slightly firm consistency, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Stir sugar and salt into the rice mixture. Remove from heat. Slowly whisk in egg yolk mixture until completely incorporated and the mixture is custard color, about 1 minute. Whisk in vanilla.
• Cool pudding to room temperature, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until well-chilled, at least 3 hours. Garnish with mango and Chinese five-spice powder.

HOW TO MAKE RICE MILK FROM RAW RICE

Steps:

• Rinse very well the rice and soak it in 2 cups of hot water for 2-4 hours.
• Drain the water and transfer the rice to a food processor. Add dates and 2 cups of cold or warm water. Close very well the food processor with a lid and process for about 3 minutes, until the rice and the dates become fine crumbs. No need to process until powder.
• Pass the liquid through a fine mesh sieve or a clean thin cloth (not a cheese cloth)

HOW TO MAKE RICE MILK

Steps:

• Measure the rice and water into a blender. Add 4 cups (950 mL) of water and 1 cup (200 grams) of cooked white rice into your blender. For the purest rice milk, use filtered water, as this has very few added chemicals or minerals in it. Both a food processor or a smoothie maker will work for making rice milk. The more powerful your blender is - the smoother your rice milk will be.
• Blend the ingredients for 1 minute. Turn the blender onto the highest setting and wait 1 minute for it to blend the rice and water into a smooth liquid. If the liquid is still a little lumpy after 1 minute, blend it for another minute or until it is smooth. Avoid using other kitchen appliances while you are using the blender, as the high wattage required can cause a fuse to blow in your multi-box.
• Store the milk in your fridge and stir it before you drink it. Rice milk tends to taste best cool; however, it can also be enjoyed straight from the blender. If you want cool milk, leave it in the fridge for 30 minutes. Stir the milk vigorously before you drink it to ensure that the water and blended rice are fully combined. Keep the milk for up to 5 days.

HOW TO MAKE RICE MILK

Steps:

• Soak rice in 2 cups (amount as original recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size) very hot (not boiling water) for 2 hours. The rice should be soft but still very raw - you should be able to snap a piece in half with your fingernail without much effort. Drain and add to a high-speed blender.
• Add water, salt, and any additional add-ins (optional). Top with lid and cover with a towel to ensure it doesn't splash. Blend for about 1 minute until the date specks are very small and the mixture seems well combined. It doesn't have to be 100% pulverized.
• Scoop out a small sample with a spoon to test sweetness. If it's not sweet enough, add more dates.
• Pour the mixture over a large mixing bowl or pitcher covered with a thin towel, clean T-shirt, or very tightly woven nut milk bag. In my experience, it benefits from a double strain. Some nut milk bags let too much residue through.
• Transfer to a sealed container and refrigerate. Will keep in the refrigerator up to 5 days (sometimes more). Great for use in things like smoothies, granola, vegan cheese sauces, and baked goods!
