Cooking Instructions
Rinse the Rice
In a fine-mesh strainer, rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch.
Prepare the Liquid Mixture
In a medium saucepan, combine coconut milk, water, ground turmeric, and salt. Stir until well combined.
Cook the Rice
Add the rinsed rice to the saucepan with the coconut milk mixture. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Simmer
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
Finish with Coconut Oil
Stir in the coconut oil until melted and evenly distributed.
Serve
Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving. Enjoy your coconut turmeric rice!
