How to make coconut rice with your NEFF steam oven
Whether it’s eating a spicy eggplant curry or whipping up a Thai green curry, having coconut rice as a side can truly elevate any dish. Packed full of flavour and only requiring a handful of ingredients, coconut rice is a simple side you can make to enhance the flavours in your curry.
And making this delicious side dish is incredibly easy when you cook it in a NEFF Slide & Hide® oven with Full Steam. Not only does the oven steam the rice to perfection, but the fully disappearing door makes it convenient to remove and serve. You can also use the Intensive Steam function, which allows you to cook with steam at 120ºC and speed up the cooking process, like cooking rice in a microwave, while maintaining the nutrition and flavour of the rice. And the higher steam temperature also ensures a dryer oven, which reduces any extra moisture.
What type of rice do you need to use to make coconut rice?
For the most authentic coconut rice you’ll want to use the Jasmine variety. Originally from Thailand, it is best suited for the types of recipes that coconut rice would pair well with – such as green curries. Alternatively, other fragrant long grain rice varieties like Basmati, also work well as a substitute.
How to make coconut rice
This recipe makes approximately four serves of coconut rice.
Ingredients
100 g Jasmine rice
200 ml water
2 tbsp shredded coconut
1 tsp palm sugar
1 tsp salt
Method
Combine rice, water, shredded coconut, sugar and salt in a small stainless steel tray.
Place tray in your NEFF Full Steam oven and set timer for 20 minutes and press start.
Once finished, cover rice with foil and rest for 10 minutes.
Use a fork to fluff up your rice before serving.
How to serve your coconut rice
Coconut rice is best served warm. Allow it to rest in the same pot you used to cook it and aim to start making it about 25 minutes before you want to serve it. If you’re making a feast and have a lot going on in the kitchen, it can be prepared in advance and reheated in the microwave just fine.
The soothing coconut flavours of your coconut rice pair beautifully with spicy dishes, so serve it up with your curries – particularly those with flavours from Southeast Asia, like green curries. It also makes a great side dish for Caribbean and Hawaiian flavours, including jerk chicken-style dishes.

The benefits of cooking with steam
What’s all the fuss about?
By using heat and water vapour in an enclosed space, steaming doesn’t require any extra oils or fats. This means your delicious dishes remain light and healthy and keeps mess to a minimum – a win-win for home chefs far and wide. Another benefit of steaming is that it seals in all the flavours and nutrients of your existing ingredients, preserving the natural colours, shapes and tastes of each element, which gives your tastebuds an authentic experience.
Whether you’re considering taking a NEFF oven with Added Steam or Full Steam functionality for a test drive or simply searching for a way to improve your cooking, using steam in your next brunch, lunch or dinner event will leave your guests delighted at the fulfilling flavours.
What's the difference between Added Steam and Full Steam?
NEFF’s Full Steam and Added Steam ovens are loved by home chefs for their steam functionality, which makes using this cooking technique even easier. But the Added Steam and Full Steam functions are actually a little different.
Full Steam is as the name suggests – a setting that just uses steam to cook your food. It’s gentle cooking in its purest form, which makes it perfect for delicate ingredients like fish and veggies. The Full Steam water tank is also super easy to refill, making a day of cooking simple and delicious.
Meanwhile, Added Steam ovens inject steam at different points throughout the cook to add the perfect amount of moisture. This can help improve and support other oven functions, giving you the best of both worlds. With three intensity levels, you can use the Added Steam function to reheat meals at low levels or bring delicious fluffy breads and bakes to life at higher levels.
