Description
Rice goes sweet (and savory) in this creamy coconut rice, made with coconut milk, a little sugar and a bit of salt!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1–1/2 cups jasmine rice, rinsed and drained
- One 14-ounce can coconut milk
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
TO FINISH:
- One 14-ounce can coconut cream (substituting with coconut milk is fine), shaken or stirred to combine
- 1/2 to 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the rice, coconut milk, 1-3/4 cups water, sugar and salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat to medium-low, so the liquid is barely bubbling, cover and simmer until the rice is cooked and liquid is mostly absorbed, about 18 to 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and use a fork to fluff the rice.
- Add about 1/4 of the can of coconut milk, salt and sugar, and fluff again. Taste to ensure you don’t need more salt. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes.
