Coconut Rice

From the kitchen of Carly

Jasmine rice cooked in coconut milk, then crowned with a layer of rich coconut cream that stays silky on top. Sweet, fragrant, and perfectly creamy without being heavy. The kind of rice that makes any simple curry or grilled fish taste complete.

Ingredients

4 servings

  • 11½ cups raw Thai jasmine rice
  • 1½ cup coconut milk, preferably freshly extracted
  • 11 cup water
  • 11 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
  • 1½ teaspoon salt
  • 1½ cup coconut cream
  • 1preferably freshly extracted

Instructions

  1. To make the rice, which is best done in a rice cooker, put the rice in a fine-mesh sieve or colander and rinse under cold running water until the water runs clear. Transfer the rice to a rice cooker, add the coconut milk, water, sugar, and salt, and stir to combine. Cover the rice cooker and turn it on.

  2. As soon as the rice cooker turns itself off, uncover, pour the coconut cream evenly over the top of the rice (do not stir it in), and replace the lid. Keep the rice warm until serving.
