Ingredients

  • 1 cup jasmine rice
  • 13.5 oz light coconut milk Buy Here
  • 2 tablespoon sugar see notes
  • teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Add ingredients to a small pot with a lid and stir to combine.
  • Turn heat to high. When it barely begins to boil, turn down to low and cover.
  • Simmer on low for 15 minutes, stirring once or twice. Check after 15 minutes and if most of the liquid is absorbed, it's finished. If not, cook a few minutes more. 
  • Remove from heat and enjoy!

Notes

2 tablespoons of sugar results in a slightly sweet rice. Use more or less to suit your taste.
For a sugar free version, you can replace the sugar with stevia. I use the SweetLeaf brand- ⅔ teaspoon from the shaker bottle or 3 packets in place of the sugar.
Store leftover rice in the refrigerator for up up 5 days.
