For an even richer flavor, consider using full-fat coconut milk instead of light coconut milk. To toast coconut flakes, spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown, watching carefully to prevent burning. Leftover coconut rice can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop with a splash of water to prevent it from drying out.

01 Step
Recipe View Gather all ingredients and have them ready to go. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View Rinse the jasmine rice: Place the rice in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse under cold running water, using your fingers to gently agitate the rice. Continue rinsing until the water runs clear, removing excess starch. (Rinsing time: 2-3 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View Combine ingredients: In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, coconut milk, water, sugar, and salt. Stir well until the sugar is fully dissolved. (Mixing time: 1 minute)
04 Step
Recipe View Cook the rice: Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan tightly, and simmer gently for 11 minutes, undisturbed. (Cooking time: 11 minutes)
05 Step
Recipe View Steam the rice: After 11 minutes, turn off the heat and let the rice steam, covered, for another 10 minutes. This allows the rice to fully absorb the liquid and become tender. (Steaming time: 10 minutes)
06 Step
Recipe View Finish and serve: Uncover the rice and gently stir in the coconut oil to fluff it up and add a touch of richness. Serve hot, garnished with toasted coconut flakes and chopped fresh cilantro, if desired. (Finishing time: 2 minutes)
