Easy Coconut Rice

jasmine rice

coconut milk

water

salt,

sugar,

fresh cilantro, chopped (optional for garnish)

In a medium sized pot, rinse the jasmine rice several times until the water runs clear. Drain any excess water and add the coconut milk, water, salt and sugar.

On high heat, allow the mixture to boil. Once it starts to boil, turn the heat down to low and cook covered for 20 minutes.

Uncover and continue to cook for 5 minutes. Fluff and serve. Garnish with some chopped cilantro.

Came out nutty, rich and lightly sweet with a good quality coconut milk. Surprised it was that good being so easy. This is my new rice hack.

This coconut rice recipe is a no-fail and delicious! After trying different recipes online, I found this to be the most flavorful and simplest way of making coconut rice. We pair it at home with coconut curry chicken and has become a weekly staple!

My mother is from Colombia and she makes it as listed in your recipe, when I was little she'd roast a real coconut on the stove and use the water and grind the coconut meat, my sis and I would snack on the pieces of the roasted coconut flesh . Now in her older years she uses canned coconut milk. She would serve the rice with black beans and plantains. So delicious!
