Ingredients
- 1 cup jasmine rice
- 3/4 cup coconut milk
- 3/4 cup water plus more for rinsing
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3/4 teaspoon ground coriander
- cilantro to garnish, fresh
Instructions
- Rinse the Rice: Add rice to a medium-sized bowl and fill it with water. Swish rice with your hands until the water turns cloudy. Rinse and repeat 2-3 times until the water runs mostly clear. Drain in a colander or strainer.
- Cook Rice: Add rice, 3/4 cup water, coconut milk, sugar, salt, and coriander to a pot and heat over high until it all comes to a boil. Lower to a simmer and cover and let cook for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, remove from the heat but keep the lid on to finish cooking.
- Fluff and Serve: Use a fork to gently fluff the rice in the pot before transferring it to a bowl, topping it with fresh cilantro, and serving.
