Ingredients
1.5 cups rice (preferably basmati or jasmine)
1.5 cup water
1 cup coconut milk
1/4 cup coconut rum
2 cups snap peas
1 cup sliced cabbage
1/2 cup toasted sesame seeds
1 cup pineapple, diced
1 garlic clove, sliced
1/2 cup cilantro
1 lime, halved
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
Start by making rice. Bring coconut milk, rum, water up to a boil and then add in your rice
Cover and cook for 15 minutes
In the last three minutes of cooking rice, crack the lid open to let the alcohol steam away.
Take the stems and membrane off the snap peas and put to the side
As the rice is about to finish cooking, start by cooking off our vegetables together in a pan, leaving our pineapple until last.
Cook snap peas, garlic and finely sliced cabbage for three to four minutes until softened.
Toss in your pineapple, and warm through and then add in your rice. It is important to get some crispy texture on the rice.
Once everything has come together, squeeze half a lime, season with salt and pepper add the toasted sesame seeds and plate up garnishing with cilantro leaves.
