How to Make Coconut Rice
Report
Coconut rice is rich and creamy with a subtle tropical flavor that instantly upgrades stir frys, rice bowls, and curries. Serve it as a side with chicken or fish too.

Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups uncooked jasmine rice
- 13.6 ounce can of unsweetened full fat coconut milk. You can use the light coconut milk as well, but the flavor won't be as good.
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt, or more to taste.

Instructions
- Rinse your rice well under cold running water.
- Put the rice, coconut milk (shake the can before adding) water, sugar, and salt in a heavy bottom saucepan and give it a good stir. Heat to a boil over medium high heat, stirring often to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Once the rice comes to a boil, give it a final stir, cover, turn the heat to very low, cover, and let cook for 15 minutes. The aroma of the coconut with the jasmine rice is lovely! Note: make sure to turn your heat down to LOW, otherwise the coconut milk may scorch.
- Fluff the rice, re-cover, and let sit for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- If you are not using jasmine rice, follow these instructions:
- Coconut rice is not suitable for the Instant Pot because coconut milk can clog the pressure vent.
- For a nice flavor variety add some grated ginger and/or lime zest to the rice.
- Follow your package directions for 1 1/2 cups of rice.
- Take the amount of water your package requires, and replace at least half of it with coconut milk. You can use more or less depending on your taste. Be sure to shake your can of coconut milk to blend the water and coconut fat together.
- Add a pinch of salt and a pinch of sugar to bring out the coconut flavor.
- Cook as usual.
