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 can light or full-fat coconut milk , 14 ounce
- 1.25 cups water
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
Instructions

1
Gather the ingredients.

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
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.

Steakhouse au Gratin Potatoes
These super creamy and rich restaurant-style potatoes will be gobbled up fast. They are excellent as leftovers warmed up in the microwave with eggs and bacon the next day. They are not a light or low-fat dish. Save this for a special occasion.
Pineapple Lemonade
This lemonade, made with fresh pineapple, is tropical and refreshing. I find that in-season pineapples tend to be very sweet, so little or no sweetener is needed. Adjust to taste.
