Description
A soothing and flavorful rice dish cooked in creamy coconut milk, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup jasmine rice
- 1 can (400ml) coconut milk
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Fresh herbs for garnish (like cilantro or basil)
- Optional toppings (such as toasted coconut or lime wedges)
Instructions
- Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
- Combine the rinsed rice, coconut milk, water, and salt in a medium saucepan.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.

- Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes for fluffiness.
- Fluff the rice with a fork and garnish with fresh herbs and optional toppings before serving.
Notes
Feel free to swap jasmine rice with basmati or brown rice for a healthier twist. Toasting the rice prior to cooking enhances flavor.
