Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups rice (white or jasmine)
  • 1.5 cups coconut milk
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • ½ tsp salt

Instructions

  1. 1

    Rinse rice in cold water until water runs clear, then drain well.

  2. 2

    Pour coconut milk and 1 cup water into a pot, add rinsed rice, sugar, and salt.

  3. 3

    Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to low and cover tightly.

  4. 4

    Simmer covered for 12 minutes without peeking—rice will absorb all liquid.

  5. 5

    Remove from heat and let sit covered for 2 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
