Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Jasmine Scented Rice
  • 1 cup Full Fat Coconut Milk
  • ¾ cup Water
  • ½ teaspoon Salt

Instructions
 

  • Start by rinsing the rice very well. To do so, place the rice in a bowl and cover with cold water. Move it around and discard the cloudy water. Keep repeating this step until the water in clearer. Strain the rinsed rice and set aside.
  • In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk, water and salt. Whisk the liquids together and then bring to a boil.
  • Once the liquids are boiling, stir in the rinsed rice. Turn the heat down to low and place the lid on the saucepan.
  • Simmer on low for 15-18 minutes, or until all the liquids have been absorbed. When cooked, keep the lid on and remove the pan from the heat. Let rest for 5 minutes with the lid on.
  • Remove the lid and fluff up the rice with a fork before serving.

Notes

Optional Topping:
  • Fresh Cilantro 
  • Fresh Lime Juice 
  • Crushed Roasted Peanuts 
Adding Lemongrass to the rice:
  • Whisk in ½ tablespoon of Lemongrass Paste with the Coconut Milk and water when making the recipe. If using a lemongrass stalk, cut the root tip of 1 stalk. Cut off the lighter 3-4 bottom inches of the stalk, and then smash it to crack it open. Place the piece of stalk in the pot with the rice when following the recipe. Remove the stalk from the rice when serving.
