Chicken Satay Nuggets with Coconut Rice {recipe}

A quenelle is simply an oval shaped meat patty made of minced meat, bread crumbs, and milk. Yep- it’s basically a chicken nugget! Quenelle is so much more elegant, isn’t it?

Use two soup spoons and keep your hands mess free. The shape is kid friendly and cooks up quickly, and the texture is closer to a fast food style chicken nugget than the traditional DIY nuggets (breaded chicken chunks.)

Get the mouthwatering flavors of classic Chicken Satay in this quick dish ready in 20 minutes or less. Look for natural hoisin and whole grain bread crumbs to make the dish even healthier. The coconut rice adds subtle flavor and is a super easy way to liven up the plate. No more boring, bland white rice!

I have a question about the rice. My uncooked white rice will really adsorb the coconut milk and water without simmering? Just making sure I am not missing something. I’m planning to try this tomorrow for dinner. Thanks for your great posts!

  I have always cooked white rice by bringing it to a boil, then turning off the heat (leaving it tightly covered and undisturbed for 20 minutes); that’s how I make the rice for this recipe and it works for me. I live at sea level, I’m not sure if that would affect it. I would say to cook your white rice as you always do, just with the added coconut milk and see how it turns out. Just be careful because coconut milk has natural sugars that could scorch if on too high of a heat. Also- every stove is different so you may need to experiment a bit. I have a gas stove, and if I try to cook white rice on low it burns every time!
  
  I just searched, and found three main ways people cook rice- simmering, the tightly covered on very low heat, and the full rolling boil then let sit off heat, undisturbed. I think rice is very forgiving!

My sister boils her rice the way you do and it always works. I simmer it for 10 minutes, it works, too. The only thing is that for me it seems like there is too much liquid in your recipe. I’ve learned that making rice you should you should use 1(rice) : 2(liquid). So if you have a 1 cup of rice you should use 2 cups of liquid. It works perfect.
Anyway, I love the sound of coconut rice. I am definitely going to make it!

  yes, normally it is a 1:2 ratio but I found with the coconut milk, it is thicker with more solids (not as much liquid) so you have to increase the amount- instead of swapping 1 c. coconut milk for 1 c. water, you have to use MORE coconut milk because it has more solids.

I am only a few months raw, but even then, I can’t friuge out why anyone wants any added oil. Dr Essylstyn even convinced me to let go of all oil the final one was olive oil, which I was drizzling on my evening salad. That was hard, but I found alternate ideas. Depending on how clean one is depends on what you are willing to put in your body. Brain fog is gone, a lifelong problem, with a raw food diet. If it helps you, for now, then use it, but I hope you get rid of it eventually.
