This coconut rice is perfect! I tried many different ways to duplicate my favorite restaurant's coconut rice after they went out of business. It's delicious topped with toasted coconut and chopped cilantro.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups uncooked jasmine rice
  • 1 , 14 ounce
  • 1.25 cups water
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1.5 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    Gather the ingredients.

  2. 2

    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.

  3. 3

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

  4. 4

    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.

  5. 5

    Enjoy!
