Mango Coconut Jasmine Rice
Description
This Mango Coconut Jasmine Rice begins with rinsing jasmine rice multiple times to remove excess starch for a light texture. The rice is cooked using a combination of coconut milk and water, infused lightly with salt for seasoning. Simmering gently with the lid on keeps the rice tender and fluffy while allowing it to absorb the coconut richness.
After cooking, the rice rests covered, allowing steam to finish gently cooking the grains. Honey is gently folded in to add sweetness without overpowering the coconut flavor. Fresh mango, cubed and added last, provides bright, juicy pops of fruit that complement the creamy coconut rice.
This dish can be served warm alongside savory items or enjoyed as a lightly sweet side. The method highlights coconut milk’s flavor without heaviness, while the honey and mango bring natural sweetness. The recipe is straightforward and well suited for cooks seeking to elevate plain jasmine rice with tropical ingredients.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups jasmine rice $0.66, uncooked
- 1 oz. can coconut milk $2.38
- 1 cup water $0.00
- 1/2 tsp salt $0.02
- 1/4 cup honey $0.44
- 1 Mango $1.29
Instructions
- Place the jasmine rice in a medium pot. Rinse 3-4 times with cool water, draining off as much water as possible after the last rinse. Add the can of coconut milk, salt, and one cup of water. Place a lid on top and bring up to a full boil over medium/high heat. As soon as it reaches a boil immediately turn the heat down to low and let simmer for 20 minutes (do not remove the lid during this time).
- While the pot is simmering, cube the mango. For a step by step image tutorial on how to cut a mango, click here.
- After the rice has simmered for 20 minutes, turn off the heat and let it sit, undisturbed, for an additional 10 minutes. Once it has rested, remove the lid and fluff with a fork. Slowly drizzle the honey over top while fluffing to mix it in. Add the cubed mango and stir again. Serve warm.
