Coconut Rice
A super simple recipe for perfectly fluffy and flavorful coconut rice with only a few ingredients. Make this on the stove or in a rice cooker or instant pot.
Ingredients
- 2 cups jasmine rice
- 1 cup water, plus extra if needed
- 1 can full-fat coconut milk
- 1 pinch salt, optional
Instructions
- Rinse the Jasmine rice in a strainer until the water runs clear. This will remove excess starch and make the rice fluffier and not as sticky.
- Heat the water, salt, and coconut milk over medium-high heat until boiling.
- Add the rice and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until all the liquid is absorbed.
- If it is not tender enough, add a small amount of water and continue to simmer until the desired tenderness is acheived.
- Fluff with a fork and serve warm or store in the fridge for up to five days.
Notes
To cook in a rice cooker or instant pot, add the rinsed rice, 1/2 cup of water, coconut milk, and salt, and cook on the rice setting. Fluff with a fork and serve warm.
