Coconut Rice Recipe

Add rice, salt, coconut milk, and water to a medium pot. Stir to combine.

Place the pot over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover with a tight-fitting lid, and simmer for 13–18 minutes until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender. Avoid lifting the lid while cooking.Troubleshooting: If liquid is gone but rice is still firm, add a few tablespoons of water. If too much liquid remains, increase the heat slightly.

Remove from heat and leave covered for 10–15 minutes. This step keeps the rice fluffy and prevents stickiness.
