Fragrant Coconut Jasmine Rice
Fragrant Coconut Jasmine Rice is tender and subtly creamy, with the natural aroma of jasmine rice enriched by coconut milk. A hint of sugar and a pinch of salt balance the flavors for a gently sweet, savory finish that pairs beautifully with curries, grilled meats, or stir-fries. Serve it for dinner when you want a cozy, aromatic side that feels special yet unfussy.

Put the rice in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse under cold water, stirring the rice with your fingers to remove excess starch, until the water runs clear, about 1 minute.

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

Bring the mixture in the saucepan to a boil over medium heat. Cover, lower the heat to low, and simmer without stirring for 11 minutes. Turn off the heat; let it steam, covered, until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed, about 10 minutes. Uncover and gently stir in the coconut oil.
