Instructions

Cook the rice:
In a pot, combine jasmine rice and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let it steam for 10 minutes.
Prepare ingredients:
While the rice cooks, chop the bok choy, spinach, shallot, and garlic.
Sauté aromatics:
Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add shallot and garlic, cooking for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add greens and spices:
Stir in bok choy, spinach, turmeric, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 2 minutes until the greens soften.
Add coconut milk:
Reduce heat and pour in the full can of coconut milk. Stir and let simmer for 5 minutes.
Combine everything:
Turn off heat and stir in the cooked rice until fully coated.
Finish and serve:
Stir in green onions and serve warm.

Notes

For extra protein, add chickpeas, tofu, or shredded chicken.
If the rice thickens too much, add a splash of broth to loosen it.
Fresh garlic and shallots give the best flavor—don’t skip them!
A squeeze of lime before serving adds a fresh, bright finish.
