Asian/ Asian Fusion
Serves: 8
Plain rice pudding gets a tropical, flavorful makeover with a Matcha Coconut Rice Pudding. Basmati rice is cooked until creamy in sweet coconut milk and matcha powder (made from green tea leaves) adds an extra burst of natural flavor.
Ingredients
1 cup Royal® Basmati Rice
4 cups beverage-style coconut milk
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 cup canned coconut milk
1 tablespoon matcha powder
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup strawberries, sliced
1/2 cup toasted flaked coconut
Preparation
- In a medium saucepan combine rice and 2 cups water. Place over high heat, bring to a boil, and boil 5 minutes or until water has evaporated.
- Stir in coconut milk, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, partially covered, stirring occasionally, until rice is very tender and creamy, 40-45 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in canned coconut milk, matcha, and vanilla. Serve topped with strawberries and coconut.
