Asian Coconut Rice
This coconut rice is perfect! I tried many different ways to duplicate my favorite restaurant's coconut rice after they went out of business. It's delicious topped with toasted coconut and chopped cilantro.
Ingredients
-
1 ½ cups uncooked jasmine rice
-
1 (14 ounce) can light or full-fat coconut milk, well shaken and stirred
-
1 ¼ cups water
-
2 teaspoons sugar
-
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
-
1 teaspoon coconut oil
Description
-
Gather the ingredients.
-
Place rice in a fine mesh strainer, and rinse with cold water, stirring rice using your fingers to remove excess starch, until water from rice runs clear, about 1 minute.
-
Place rinsed rice, coconut milk, water, sugar, and salt in a medium saucepan; stir until sugar dissolves, about 1 minute.
-
Bring mixture in saucepan to a boil over medium heat. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer, undisturbed, for 11 minutes. Turn off heat; steam, covered, until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, about 10 minutes. Uncover and gently stir in coconut oil.

Enjoy!
