Recipe Summary Thai-Style Rice Salad
This recipe occurred semi-accidentally. I was studying various Thai recipes and examining the flavors, and went home to stare at my fridge, and out came this recipe. A wonderful condiment to eat with this dish, and many other asian dishes, is Sambal Oelek, a garlic-chili paste you can find in the asian section of most groceries and asian specialty stores. It's quite spicy, and quite tasty.Ingredients | Thai Beef Salad Recipe Marion4 cups uncooked jasmine rice2 teaspoons unsalted butter2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger root2 (14 ounce) cans coconut milk2 cups water½ teaspoon salt1 tablespoon peanut oil2 cloves garlic, minced1 shallot, minced1 Thai chile pepper, seeded and minced1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger root1 teaspoon minced lemon grass½ pound peeled and deveined medium shrimp (30-40 per pound)½ red bell pepper, sliced1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil1 tablespoon fish sauce1 teaspoon soy sauce½ lime, juiced1 ½ cups diced pineapple2 teaspoons white sugar, or to taste¼ cup chopped fresh cilantroDirectionsBring the rice, butter, ginger, coconut milk, water, and salt to a boil in a saucepan over high heat.
