Scale
Ingredients
- 1 cup jasmine rice
- 1 cup full-fat canned coconut milk
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large saucepan, add the jasmine rice, full-fat coconut milk, water, and coarse salt. Stir gently to combine.
- Cook Rice: Cover the saucepan and bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender, fluffy, and the liquid has been absorbed.
- Rest and Fluff: Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the rice sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes. This resting period allows the rice to finish cooking and absorb any remaining liquid. Before serving, fluff the rice gently with a fork to separate the grains.
Notes
- Use full-fat coconut milk for the best creamy texture and flavor.
- Rinse the jasmine rice before cooking if you prefer less starch and fluffier rice.
- Adjust water amount slightly depending on your rice brand and texture preference.
- This coconut rice pairs well with grilled meats, stir-fries, or tropical dishes.
- For added flavor, consider garnishing with toasted coconut flakes or chopped fresh herbs like cilantro.
