Simple ingredients are given a flavour with fresh-tasting lemongrass, coriander and the fiery heat of chopped chilli.

Ingredients

Instructions

1. Half fill the base of a steamer with water. Bring to the boil and cover with the steamer layers and lid. Rinse the rice under cold running water. Drain and put into a basin (check that it will fit into the steamer layer). Add the lemongrass, some seasoning and 600 ml boiling water into the basin and put on the lid. Cook the rice for
   30 minutes until the rice has absorbed almost all the water.
2. Arrange the vegetables in the steamer, around the basin. Cover and steam for
   2 minutes.
3. Stir the coriander, coconut and chilli into the rice and divide the rice among serving plates. Top with the vegetables and drizzle over the soy sauce. Serve sprinkled with the coriander sprigs.
