Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of jasmine rice, 1 can of coconut milk, and 1 cup of water. Bring this mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, keeping an eye on it to prevent overflow. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
- While the rice is cooking, heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is melted and shimmering, add 1 chopped onion. Sauté the onion for about 3-4 minutes until it turns translucent and fragrant.
- Next, add 2 minced garlic cloves and 1 sliced green bell pepper, along with 1 sliced red bell pepper to the skillet. Stir and cook for 5-6 minutes until the peppers soften.
- Sprinkle in ½ teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper, ½ teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder, and optional red pepper flakes. Toss everything together in the skillet.
- Once the rice is ready, gently fold it into the vegetable mixture in the skillet. Turn the heat to low and let everything meld together for about 2-3 minutes.
- After everything is well combined, remove the skillet from heat and garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves. Serve warm with lime wedges.
