Overview
You know you’ve reached the top of your culinary game when you invent a cuisine. Jade Mountain’s Chef Allen Susser took the lush and exotic ingredients growing right outside his kitchen and created “Jade Cuisine.” While the menu of a master chef is usually out of reach, we reconstructed a few of Chef Susser’s blissful dishes in this issue of Galavante. However, we wouldn’t blame you if you wanted to go to Jade Mountain yourself and sample the real deal. Here are our adapted recipes, inspired by recipes around the web. Next, we’ll focus on our recipe for coconut lime rice:
Coconut Lime Rice Recipe:
You won’t find plain steamed rice on any Jade Mountain menus. Adding sweet coconut milk and tart lime is just one of the ways they spice things up.
Serves 4
Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
1 cup coconut milk
2 cups water
1/4 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 cups basmati rice
1 lime, zest and juice
Directions:
Bring coconut milk and water to a boil. Stir in rice and salt. Reduce to simmer, cover, and cook for 20 minutes or until rice is tender. Stir in juice and zest, adding more if necessary.
