Rich tasting rice?

[Chile Chef]

At a Restaurant yesterday, I had a dish with mako shark & rice. The rice was rich and creamy but it was the basic white rice. I've noticed that they used coconut in the rice for texture and a touch of sweetness, however I'm still trying to figure out how they made the rice rich & creamy. I like to make it here at the apartment for when I can eat about a 1/4th cup of rice with my fish.


I'm thinking they used milk to make it creamy & rich?

I don't think so, Then again I don't know what Risotto look like?


I'm very sure it was plain ole white rice though!

Risotto is a short grain rice and with coconut milk would be very creamy and sweet. Your usual rice is long grain.

This rice was short, but yet it was white?


It looked like the typical uncle bens kind of rice, "although it wasn't uncle Ben's".

sounds like risotto to me, hmmmm. it's very creamy, it's slowly cooked with plenty of stirring. the starch makes it creamy & thick.

Babetoo, I'am interested. Everytime I try to make rice from scratch it turns out el_dente. And I am getting tired of el_dente rice.
