• 1 pinch salt
• 1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1.25 cups water
• 1.5 cups uncooked jasmine rice
• 1 teaspoon unrefined coconut oil

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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

Step 3

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; serve.
