Ingredients
- ¼ cup desiccated coconut, unsweetened
- 2 cups jasmine rice
- 1 can (13.5 ounces) coconut milk
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- green onions, chopped
Instructions
- In a pan over medium heat, add coconut flakes. Cook, stirring regularly, for about 3 to 5 minutes or until lightly browned and aromatic. Immediately remove from pan and set aside.
- Under running water, rinse the rice a few times until water runs clear. Drain well.
- In a pot with a tight-fitting lid, combine rice, coconut milk, water, and salt. Stir gently to disperse.
- Over medium heat, bring to a boil uncovered. Lower heat, cover, and continue to cook for about 15 to 20 minutes or until rice is tender.
- Let sit, uncovered, for about 10 minutes.
- With a fork, gently fluff rice and transfer to a serving platter. Top with green onions and toasted coconut. Serve hot.
Notes
- Use a pot with a tight-fitting lid that is big enough to allow space for the expanding rice.
- Coconut milk is creamier and thicker than water, so rinse the rice well before cooking to remove the extra starch. Place in a fine-mesh sieve and rinse under cold running water until the water runs clear.
- After rinsing, drain the rice very well, as extra moisture can affect the texture.
- Use a pot with a tight-fitting lid that is big enough to allow space for the expanding rice.
- For optimum texture, let the rice rest after cooking for 10 minutes before fluffing.
