coconut milk rice recipe Snowy Coconut Jasmine
- Total Time: 30 minutes
- Yield: 6 servings 1x
- Diet: Vegetarian, Gluten-Free
Description
This creamy coconut milk rice recipe transforms any meal into something truly special with its fragrant aroma and fluffy, tender texture. It’s simple to prepare and beautifully complements favorite family-friendly recipes.
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups jasmine rice
- 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk, or light coconut milk
- 0.5 cup water
- 0.5 teaspoon salt, sea salt or kosher salt recommended
Instructions
- Rinse Rice: Gently rinse 1.5 cups of jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs mostly clear to prevent stickiness and yield fluffier grains.
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, coconut milk, water, and salt. Stir gently just to mix.
- Bring to Boil: Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, watching for small bubbles and stirring occasionally to prevent clumping.
- Cover and Cook: Reduce heat, cover tightly, and cook for 15-18 minutes until the liquid is absorbed and rice is tender. Do not lift the lid.
- Rest and Fluff: Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Gently fluff with a fork before serving.
Notes
For a lighter version, use light coconut milk. Add a squeeze of lime juice or lime/lemon zest at the end for a bright finish. Consider adding a pandan leaf or kaffir lime leaves during cooking for extra aroma, or stir in shredded coconut flakes for texture. Use a non-stick pan for easy cleanup. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
