Easy Coconut Rice
This rice is so simple but the flavors are amazing. The coconut milk complements the fragrant Jasmine perfectly. If desired, add a bay leave, or a couple of whole cloves for even deeper flavor.

Ingredients
- 1 cup jasmine rice
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients to the saucepan and stir to combine. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring often.
- Reduce the heat to low and cover the pan. After about 10 minutes, give the rice a good stir, just to make sure it's not sticking to the pan.
- After a total of 15 to 18 minutes, remove the lid and stir to fluff the rice. Serve at once, or keep covered for up to 1 hour. Leftovers will keep for up to 5 days (in the fridge).

Notes

- For extra fluffy rice, place the rice in a bowl and cover with cool water. Use your hands to swirl the rice around until the water is cloudy. Carefully drain away the water, using your hand to keep the rice in the bowl. Repeat 2 more times, then allow the rice to soak for 15 to 20 minutes. Drain, and then proceed with the recipe. This isn't 100% necessary, but, if you have the time, it will make the rice more fluffy.
