Hello my Ladies! Are you hungry? I recently acquired a taste for glutenous rice, salted fish and fresh tomatoes. Actually it's glutenous rice with coconut milk. The story behind this dish is that it's always sold out! People eat glutenous rice with salted fish all the time here, I'm the only one who adds fresh tomatoes. I usually go to Embun's restaurant at the crossroads first thing after waking up after going back to sleep after the dawn prayer to get the rice and fish. She asked me if Americans like to eat the rice and fish with tomatoes and that's why I eat it but no, I'm the only one who likes that combination. Lately I've been showering, brushing my teeth and putting on nice clothes before leaving the house, and the rice and fish sell out by the time I get there. Exasperated, I decided to make it myself.
Anybody with a trained eye can tell that I did the rice wrong. I had never prepared glutenous rice before, so this first time I chose to put it in the rice pot and cook it like normal rice, adding coconut milk later. It made a huge, sticky mess. I used too much coconut milk, and the rice was sickly rich. Not unpalatable, just not normal. No worries, I have a lot of rice, fish and tomatoes, and I intend to eat just that for the next few days so I can master cooking it. I need more coconut milk though.
