Tasting steamed seafood with coconut rice in Hanoi
By Bach Nhat 15:11, 2014/04/18
The dishes are made from fresh coconut always bring friendly and familiar flavor but not less unique. Tasting steamed seafood with coconut rice, you will never forget its attractive flavor of coconut specialty.


 
The steamed seafood with coconut rice is not so complicated in terms of processing but it requires experience from the cook to create a tasty coconut rice. The talented chef of Gia Vien restaurant collects delicious, fragrant, and flexible rice. The coconut must be not too old and not too young and the coconut milk must be sweet. 

The whole fresh coconut is retained, just remove a small round part on the top to use it as a cover later. After that, remove coconut milk to pour rice into then the cooked rice full of coconut. Next step is that seafood and coconut milk is used to be steamed in about 30 minutes. The coconut rice is delicious or not depends much on adding coconut milk. If too much coconut milk, the rice will turn into a kind of paste. But if too less coconut milk, the rice will be hard.

The fresh and delicious flavor of seafood which is well combined with fragrant and light sweet rice and coconut milk will bring a strange feeling for tourist.
