Ingredients
4 INGREDIENTS
8 SERVINGS
13 1/2 oz cold water
Directions
8 STEPS
1
Place the jasmine rice in a fine mesh strainer and rinse under cold running water. Gently stir the rice to avoid breaking the grains. Repeat the rinsing process until the water runs clear. Allow the rice to drain for at least 10 minutes.
2
Combine the rinsed jasmine rice, coconut milk, cold water, and salt in a heavy, 3-quart pot, stirring gently.
3
Bring the mixture to a simmer over high heat. Cover the pot and reduce heat to low, maintaining a low simmer. Cook for 9 minutes without uncovering or stirring the rice.
4
When 9 minutes have passed, turn off the heat and let the rice rest, covered for at least 10 minutes. This will allow any residual moisture to be absorbed.
5
Taste the rice. If it still feels underdone or firm, cover the pot and let it rest for an additional 5 minutes.
6
Alternatively, place the rinsed jasmine rice, coconut milk, cold water, and salt in a rice cooker. Stir gently, and cook following your rice cooker's instructions.
7
Once the rice cooker has finished cooking, let the rice rest for at least 10 minutes before serving.
8
Serve the Creamy Coconut Jasmine Rice warm, as a side alongside your favorite dishes.
