Coconut Rice In A Rice Cooker
Coconut Rice in a rice cooker is a simple and aromatic dish featuring rice cooked in creamy coconut milk. This easy recipe yields fluffy grains with a hint of sweetness, perfect as a side or base for Asian-inspired dishes.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp Dry unsweetened or sweetened shredded coconut
- 2 cups Thai jasmine rice
- 1 cup Full-fat coconut milk
- ½ tsp Kosher salt, plus more to taste
- 2 cups Water
Instructions
- Start by placing the rice in the cooker, then add water, coconut milk, salt, and shredded coconut.
- Stir gently using a plastic or wooden utensil to avoid damaging the nonstick surface.
- Cover and set the cooker to cook.
- Once the rice cooker switches to 'warm' mode, let it steam for an additional 8 to 10 minutes to ensure the rice is fully cooked and has a pleasant stickiness.
- Before serving, gently fluff the rice with chopsticks, incorporating any risen shredded coconut back into the rice.
- Taste for salt and adjust if necessary before serving.
