Spicy Coconut Rice Bowl

This vibrant and aromatic Spicy Coconut Rice Bowl combines the creaminess of coconut milk with a kick of spices, creating a delightful main dish. Perfectly paired with fresh vegetables and a hint of lime, it’s a satisfying meal for any time of the day.

Steps

1. Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
2. In a small saucepan, combine the rice, coconut milk, water, salt, chili powder, and garlic powder. Bring to a gentle boil.
3. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.
4. While the rice is cooking, in a separate pan, lightly sauté the diced bell peppers and snap peas over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.
5. Once the rice is finished, fluff it with a fork and stir in the lime juice.
6. Serve the coconut rice in a bowl, topped with the sautéed vegetables and garnished with fresh cilantro.
