Ingredients

Servings:4
  • 2 cups Jasmine rice
  • 13 1/2 oz can Full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 1/4 cups Water
  • 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 2 coins Fresh ginger, sliced(optional)
  • 1 piece Pandan leaf, knotted(optional)
  • 1 teaspoon Toasted sesame seeds(optional)
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro(optional)
  • 1 teaspoon Coconut oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    Rinse the jasmine rice in a fine-mesh strainer under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

  2. 2

    In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, coconut milk, water, sugar, salt, and ginger slices.

  3. 3

    Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally to ensure the sugar dissolves and rice doesn't stick.

  4. 4

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid, and simmer for 15 to 18 minutes.

  5. 5

    Remove the pot from the heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes to allow the steam to finish the cooking process.

  6. 6

    Remove the ginger slices and pandan leaf if used.

  7. 7

    Fluff the rice gently with a fork to incorporate any coconut cream that may have settled on top.

  8. 8

    Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and fresh cilantro before serving warm.
