Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup jasmine rice
  • 1 (13.5 oz) can full-fat coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 lime, zested

Method
 

  1. Rinse the rice in a fine-mesh strainer under cold water until the water runs almost clear, about 30 seconds.
  2. Combine the rice, coconut milk, water, and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 18 to 20 minutes until liquid is absorbed.
  3. Remove from heat and let rest, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork, scatter lime zest over the top, and serve.

Notes

The lime zest is optional but adds a nice pop of brightness. For a richer rice, you can replace the water with more coconut milk, but it will take a minute longer to cook. This rice is best served fresh.
