Ingredients

  • 2 cups Jasmine rice
  • 1 13.5 ounce can unsweetened coconut milk
  • 1-1/2 cups water
  • 1-½ teaspoons salt
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice

Instructions

  • Rinse the rice: Place rice in a large bowl and fill with cold water and move the rice around with your hands. Drain the rice and repeat this step until the water inside the bowl is clear.
  • Add the rice, coconut milk, water, salt and lime juice to a medium pot and turn heat to high. Bring to a boil and continue to cook until all the water has evaporated below the rice and the bubbles have disappeared, about 10 minutes.
  • Cover and reduce temperature to the lowest heat and cook for 10 minutes. 
  • Once done, fluff with a fork and serve immediately.

Notes

The rice will keep for about 5 days in the refrigerator. Alternatively you can freeze in single serve portions to use for a quick weeknight dinner. To reheat place rice in a medium pot with 2 tablespoons of water and place on low heat with a cover. Cook for about 10 minutes until the rice is completely heated through and the water has been absorbed.
