Chef John's side dish begins with jasmine rice mixed with ginger, red chili, turmeric, and salt. Add fresh cold water, a can of coconut milk and a bay leaf, then bring to a simmer. Once cooked, garnish with toasted coconut and serve with grilled hoisin beef or any other spicy summery meats that perfectly pair with this delicious rice.
