Ingredients
- 13.5 oz. can full-fat coconut milk
- 1 cup basmati rice or long grain white rice
- ½ tsp. salt to taste
Instructions
- Rinse rice in a fine mesh strainer under cool running water until the liquid runs clear, about 1-2 minutes.
- Shake the can of coconut milk well to ensure it is thoroughly mixed. Pour milk into a medium-sized pot over high heat and bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, add the rinsed and drained rice along with the salt. Stir, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pot with a lid, and cook for 18-20 minutes or until the rice is tender. Fluff with a fork before serving.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Full fat. This type of coconut milk makes the creamiest rice.
- Rinse. Run the rice under cold water to remove the extra starch.
- Prep. While rice is best right after cooking, you can make it up to 1 to 2 days early.
- Storage. Keep leftover coconut rice in an airtight container in the refrigerator, for up to 3-4 days. The coconut rice can be frozen in an airtight, freezer-safe container for up to 3-4 months. Allow it to defrost completely before reheating. Reheat by placing the rice to a skillet over medium-low heat with a little oil or some water. Stir frequently while cooking for 4-5 minutes until completely warm.
