Coconut Rice Ingredients

Method

Coconut Rice Directions

  1. 1

    Rinse the Rice

    Rinse the Jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

  2. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, coconut milk, water, salt, and sugar.

  3. 3

    Cook the Rice

    Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.

  4. 4

    Fluff and Serve

    Remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit covered for an additional 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork and stir in the chopped cilantro if desired. Serve warm.
