Ingredients

Scale

  • 3/4 cup water
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Thoroughly rinse the jasmine rice until the water is clear.
  2. Pour the rinsed rice into a pot and add coconut milk, water, sugar, and salt.
  3. Heat the pot over medium flame until it boils, then cover and lower the heat to simmer gently for 18 minutes.
  4. After 18 minutes, check if the liquid is fully absorbed without stirring; continue cooking up to 4 more minutes if needed.
  5. Once the rice is tender and liquid absorbed, remove from heat and let it rest covered for 10 minutes before fluffing it with a fork and serving.

Notes

  • Storing leftovers: Leftover rice keeps well in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 5 days
  • To reheat in the oven, warm at 300 degrees F covered with foil and a little water for 15-20 minutes
  • For microwave reheating, add 1-2 tablespoons water, cover with a damp paper towel, and heat in short intervals until hot
  • On the stovetop, warm the rice with a splash of water on low heat, stirring occasionally
