Sweet Rice Ingredients

Method

Sweet Rice Preparation

  1. 1

    Rinse the Rice

    Begin by rinsing the Jasmine rice under cold water to remove excess starch. This helps in achieving a fluffy texture.

  2. 2

    Combine Ingredients

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

  3. 3

    Cook the Rice

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

  4. 4

    Fluff and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork and serve warm, garnished with sesame seeds or shredded coconut, if desired.
