Description
This coconut rice recipe is easy to make and perfectly fluffy with a lightly-sweet coconut flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups jasmine or long-grain rice
- 1 (14-ounce) can coconut milk
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 to 2 teaspoons white granulated sugar (optional*)
Instructions
- Rinse the rice. Thoroughly rinse the rice in a fine mesh strainer until the water runs clear.
- Cook. Add the rice, coconut milk, water, sea salt and sugar (if using) to a large saucepan and stir to combine. Cook over medium-high heat until the rice reaches a boil. Give the rice a quick stir, turn the heat to low, cover with a lid, and cook undisturbed for 15 minutes. Turn off the heat, and let the rice rest undisturbed for 10 minutes. Uncover and fluff the rice with a fork.
- Serve. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
Sugar: Adding extra sugar is completely optional here, but I recommend adding a teaspoon or two if you prefer a slightly sweet coconut rice. Basic white granulated sugar will work, or coconut sugar or honey would be lovely too.
