Step 1

Rinse your rice well under cold running water.

Step 2

Put the rice, coconut milk (shake the can before adding) water, sugar, and salt in a heavy bottom saucepan and give it a good stir. Heat to a boil over medium high heat, stirring often to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan.

Step 3

Once the rice comes to a boil, give it a final stir, cover, turn the heat to very low, cover, and let cook for 15 minutes. The aroma of the coconut with the jasmine rice is lovely! Note: make sure to turn your heat down to LOW, otherwise the coconut milk may scorch.

Step 4

Fluff the rice, re-cover, and let sit for 10 minutes before serving.
