Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, combine the jasmine rice and 1 1/2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until rice is tender and water is absorbed.

  2. 2

    Make the Coconut Mixture

    In a separate bowl, mix the coconut milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.

  3. 3

    Combine Rice and Coconut

    Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and pour the coconut mixture over the rice. Stir gently to combine and let it sit for about 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Spoon the coconut jasmine rice into serving bowls. Top with diced fresh mango and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds. Garnish with mint leaves.
