Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup jasmine rice
  • 1 (13.5 oz) can full-fat coconut milk
  • ½ cup water
  • ½ tsp salt

Method
 

  1. Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs mostly clear, then drain well.
  2. Combine the coconut milk, water, and salt in a saucepan and stir, then add the rice. Bring to a boil over high heat, cover, reduce to low, and simmer for 15 minutes without lifting the lid.
  3. Turn off the heat and let the pot stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Remove the lid carefully, fluff with a fork, and serve hot.

Notes

This recipe gives you savory coconut rice. If you want a slightly sweet version, stir in 1 teaspoon of sugar along with the salt. The 5-minute rest after cooking is not counted in the prep or cook times; do not skip it or the rice may turn out wet.
