0.5

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

Steps

Gather the ingredients.

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.

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

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.

Enjoy!
