This vegan Thai peanut coconut rice is the perfect summer dish. Its flavors blend to make one impressive dish.
This Vegan Thai Peanut Coconut rice is super delish.
It has a lot of complex flavors coming at it. But the flavors just blend.
This dish is a great one to bring to a potluck. Everyone always loves it.
The rice alone I could eat way too frequently.
It’s made with a can of coconut milk and garlic.
That may sound a little funky, but trust me it goes.
I may or may not take some out for myself when it’s done cooking.
This rice can be eaten as a side dish or a main dish.
It’s fairly healthy.
I love that it’s full of vegetables that you can customize to your liking.
It’s typically made with red cabbage, but of course, when I went to make it for the blog I forgot the red cabbage.
So I just used regular, but that red really makes it pop.

That’s just to get the peanut butter to be stirrable.
Stir until smooth and start the next step.
Get a large bowl and chop up all your vegetables until either small pieces or shreds depending on what you want.
Put all those in your large bowl.
When your rice is done put your rice with the vegetables and stir.
Then add your peanut sauce and stir.
If you like things real saucy, then double the peanut sauce. This just makes a light coating on it.
Before serving toss roasted salted peanuts on top.
We usually eat this cold, but you could eat it warm.
It’s great for a potluck or a fun meal.
