Step 1: Preparing the Rice

1 small onion
2 tsp vegetable oil
1 cup basmati or jasmine rice
1 1/2 cups cold water
1/2 cup thick coconut milk
1/8 tsp white pepper
3/4 tsp sea salt (or to taste)
1 cup cilantro
1/2 cup green onions (approx. 3)
3/4 cup crispy-fried onions

To start the rice, heat up a rice cooker and then add the oil, followed by the
diced onions. Saute until translucent.
Add the rice and saut for a few minutes or until the rice is coated in the oil and
is slightly translucent. Add the cold water, coconut milk, salt and pepper. Place
the lid on the rice cooker (making sure the rice cooker is still on, and has not
switched to the warm setting). Let cook for approximately 20 minutes, or until
it switches off indicating that the rice is done.
Roughly chop the cilantro and green onions. Fold them into the rice, along with
the crispy fried onions.
Serve.

Notes
When making this rice, just be sure to add the cilantro, green onions and crispy fried onions right before serving.
You can use any kind of long grain white rice but basmati or jasmine have a natural fragrance that helps make this Pilau
Rice so fantastic.
Also, you can make crispy fried onions yourself, but we prefer to buy them because they're inexpensive, cooked to
perfection and have a long shelf life.
