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

Directions

  1. Gather the ingredients.

  2. 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.

  3. Place rinsed rice, coconut milk, water, sugar, and salt in a medium saucepan; stir until sugar dissolves, about 1 minute.

  4. 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.

  5. Enjoy!
