Delicious sweet coconut rice that can be thrown in a rice cooker or done on the stove. This is great when paired with a Thai green curry or stir-fry! Ideally, make this with either jasmine rice or long-grain white rice.

Sweet Coconut Rice

white rice

(14 coconut milk

water

white sugar,

coconut,

Stir rice, coconut milk, and water together in a saucepan. Dissolve sugar into the liquid.


Bring the mixture to a simmer, reduce heat to medium-low, place a cover on the saucepan, and simmer until the majority of the liquid has been absorbed by the rice, 15 to 20 minutes. Leaving saucepan on the burner, turn heat off and let rice steam until sticky, about 5 to 10 minutes more.  Garnish with shredded coconut.


This was reminiscent of rice pudding for me because of the creaminess.  I used palm sugar because I don't cook with white sugar(personal preference). 1 tsp was enough. Shredded coconut added a welcomed texture. I'll make this again. Thanks Melucy.

We LOVED this! I only used the teaspoon of sugar called for b/c I didn't want it too sweet, and that was perfect, so if you want it SWEET def add more sugar. I liked the addition of the coconut sprinkled on top, which also gave some sweetness to the rice, so keep that in mind as well if you plan on using it. I added some salt, but that was per my own preference. Oh, and I used Jasmine rice, which was wonderful in this. I would def be making this again~YUM! Thanks for sharing. :)

Amazing! My boyfriend made this last night with caramelized baked chicken (another wonderful recipe on here). It went perfect with it! I loved the sweetness of this rice. It is the right amount of sweet. Delicious!

Fabulous! Just like in the restaurants. I used a rice cooker instead of stovetop and it turned out perfect.

EXCELLENT recipe - only thing I added was salt. I like sweet rice so I used two tsp of sugar. Added the coconut just before serving and it was terrific. We served it as a side dish with BBQ brisket steamed broccoli and a green salad. Will make it with chicken curry next time. Two thumbs up!

Okay but not a strong coconut taste. Made this in my rice cooker. I used the stated amount of sugar. I found that if I added some sugar on my rice at the table it bought out the coconut taste more. Not a bad recipe by any means but I would want to play with it some more to suite our tastes. My teen didn't like it at all. A lot leftover.

I make this recipe almost weekly and our family loves it. 

I've found that in my rice cookers (one a simple 3 cup cooker which only has on/off settings and one a 5.5 c Tiger brand cooker with multiple settings) I get a better result with 2 c uncooked rice, keeping all the other ingredients the same. It's a little less mushy and the grains have a better texture.

I made my Coconut Rice last night using my rice cooker. In order to keep the same consistency as I make my regular rice, I used the measuring cup that came with the rice cooker.  My measurement is 3 cups of rice, 2 cups of coconut milk and 1 cup of water. Left it on low for 10 minutes after boil and it came out perfect and not mushy. Will definitely make it again.

Great and easy to make and tastes great too
