Ingredients

  • 200 g (7.1 oz/ about 1 cup) white jasmine rice
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 150 ml (5.1 fl.oz/ about 2/3 cup – ½ tbs) water

Instructions

  • Begin by cleaning rice. Simply put rice in a bowl and add cold running water. Stir the rice around with your hands and drain. Repeat the process for two to three times. Next mix the creamiest part of the milk on top with the rest of the milk, since we will only be using half a can.
  • In a small pot, add water, drained rice, coconut milk, sugar, salt and sunflower oil and stir well. Bring to a boil over medium high heat. Once the water starts to boil, cover, then reduce the heat to medium low and let cook for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, without removing or lifting up the lid, remove the pot from the heat and let sit for 15 minutes. Use a fork and fluff the rice. Garnish with toasted coconut flakes if you like and enjoy!

Notes

  • This recipe calls for jasmine rice, but feel free to use basmati rice, if you don't have it at home.
