Coconut Rice Ingredients

Method

Coconut Rice Directions

1

Rinse the Rice

Place the jasmine rice in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming gummy.

2

Combine Ingredients

In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed jasmine rice, coconut milk, water, salt, and sugar. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

3

Bring to a Boil

Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Keep an eye on it to prevent it from overflowing.

4

Simmer the Rice

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a lid, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes. Do not lift the lid while it cooks as this will release steam.

5

Fluff the Rice

After 15 minutes, remove the saucepan from the heat. Let it sit, covered, for an additional 10 minutes to allow the rice to finish cooking. Then, remove the lid and fluff the rice gently with a fork.

6

Add Final Touches

Stir in the chopped fresh cilantro and lime zest for added freshness and flavor. Adjust seasoning with additional salt or sugar based on your preference.

7

Serve

Serve the coconut rice warm as a side dish or as a base for curries and other dishes. Enjoy!
