--------------------------------

3/4 cup brown basmati rice

1 3/4 cups water

1 cup lite Coconut Milk

3/4 cup reduced sodium broth

1 tablespoon freshly grated orange zest --

preferably organic

3/4 cup fresh orange juice

1 tablespoon fish sauce

1 teaspoon Thai chile paste -- or Chinese

chile garlic sauce

2 fresh Thai chile peppers -- or

serrano chiles, stemmed, seeded and minced

2 cups button mushrooms -- about 8

oz, stems trimmed, caps wiped clean, and quartered

2 ounces enoki mushrooms -- fresh,

optional

4 tablespoons chopped fresh basil

1/4 teaspoon salt -- or to taste

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

 

Place rice and water in a medium saucepan; bring to a

simmer. Cover and cook over low heat until the rice is

tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed, 40 to

50 minutes.

 

About 15 minutes before the rice is ready, combine

coconut milk, broth, orange zest and juice, fish

sauce, chile paste (chile-garlic sauce) and chile

peppers in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil, then

reduce heat to medium and simmer, uncovered, until

foamy and a pale golden orange, about 5 minutes. Add

button mushrooms and cook until just tender, about 5

minutes. Add the enoki mushrooms, if using, and cook

for 1 minute. Stir in 3 tablespoons basil, salt and

pepper.

 

Divide rice among 4 bowls and spoon soup over it.

garnish with the remaining 1 tablespoon basil. Serve

immediately.
