Ingredients

• 2 cups brown rice
• 1 cup light coconut milk
• 2 cups water
• 1 lemongrass stalk
• 2 bay leaf
• 2 kaffir lime leaves
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cucumber
• 0.25 cup fried shallots

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the brown rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Set aside.

Step 2

In a medium pot, combine the light coconut milk and water. Stir well to mix.

Step 3

Lightly bruise the lemongrass by gently crushing it with the flat side of a knife and tie it into a knot.

Step 4

Add the rice, lemongrass, bay leaves, kaffir lime leaves, ground coriander, and salt into the pot with the coconut milk mixture.

Step 5

Stir the ingredients gently and bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.

Step 6

Once it starts boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid, and let it simmer for approximately 40-45 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and has absorbed all the liquid.

Step 7

Remove the pot from the heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 10 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse further.

Step 8

Remove lemongrass, bay leaves, and kaffir lime leaves before serving.

Step 9

Slice the cucumber into thin rounds for garnishing.

Step 10

Fluff the rice with a fork and serve it warm, garnished with sliced cucumber and a sprinkle of fried shallots.
