Coconut Rice Recipe
Description
Coconut Rice features jasmine rice cooked in coconut milk diluted with water, seasoned lightly with sea salt. The rice is rinsed multiple times to remove excess starch, which helps prevent clumping. The cooking method involves bringing the mixture to a simmer over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally to avoid sticking. Once simmering, the heat is reduced to low and the pot is covered, allowing the rice to absorb the liquid over 12 minutes. After cooking, the rice rests off the heat for 8 minutes to steam and finish cooking evenly.
The final result is rice with a delicate coconut aroma and a creamy, tender texture. This dish works well as a side to complement savory or spicy entrees, adding a subtle tropical flavor to the meal.
Ingredients
- 1 cup jasmine rice rinsed, optional - see notes
- 14 ounce coconut milk can be light, can
- ¼ teaspoon salt sea salt
Instructions
- Add the rice to a small pot and fill it halfway with water. Pour the water out (don't let the rice out of the pot!) then repeat 3-4 more times.
- Pour the can of coconut milk into a 2-cup measuring cup. Add enough water to make 2 cups. Add the salt. Pour the coconut milk/water and salt into the pot and stir.
- Bring the pot to a simmer over medium-high heat, stirring several times while the coconut milk is warming to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
- When the pot starts to simmer, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Cook for 12 minutes then remove the pot from the heat and set it aside for 8 minutes.
