Description
A delightful, aromatic dish featuring creamy coconut flavor and fluffy texture, perfect as a side or on its own.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup jasmine rice
- 1 can (400 ml) coconut milk
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1–2 tablespoons lime juice (optional)
- Chopped cilantro for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch, resulting in fluffier rice. Drain well.
- Combine the rinsed rice, coconut milk, water, sugar, and salt in a medium saucepan. Stir to combine the ingredients evenly.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, lower the heat to a simmer and cover the saucepan with a lid.
- Cook for about 15-18 minutes or until the rice is tender and all the liquid is absorbed. Once done, remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes. Finally, fluff the rice with a fork and stir in lime juice if desired. Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
Notes
Leftover rice can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat with a splash of water or coconut milk.
