Main Ingredients
Optional Garnishes
Method
Cooking the Rice
- 1
Rinse the Rice
Place the jasmine rice in a fine mesh strainer and rinse it under cold running 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, and salt. Stir gently to combine.
- 3
Bring to a Boil
Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil.
- 4
Simmer
Once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a lid, and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed all the liquid.

Add Garnishes
If desired, garnish the coconut rice with fresh cilantro, toasted coconut flakes, and serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
