Description

This is the perfect side dish that pairs well with many main dishes. It's gluten-free, full of flavor, fluffy, deliciously sweet and savory.

Ingredients

• 2 c. jasmine rice
• 400 ml can full-fat coconut milk (14 oz.)
• 1 1/2 c. water
• 1 t. salt
• 1 t. granulated sugar
• 1 T. fresh cilantro, chopped (optional for garnish)

Steps

1. In a medium bowl, rinse the jasmine rice in several changes of cold water until the water runs clear. Drain excess water in a large fine-mesh sieve.
2. Place the rice in a saucepan or pot. Add coconut milk, water, salt, and sugar. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once it starts to boil, turn the heat down to low; cook covered for 20 minutes. Uncover; cook for 5 more minutes. Fluff with a fork.
3. Serve garnished with chopped cilantro, if desired.
