- 1 ¾ cups water
- 1 (14 ounce or 400 ml) can full-fat coconut milk
- 2 cups jasmine rice
- ¾ teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
For Serving (Optional)
- Chopped scallions
- Toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
- Stir the water, coconut milk, rice, and salt together in a medium saucepan. Place it over medium heat.
- Bring the liquid to a boil, stirring frequently and scraping the bottom of the pot with a spoon to prevent the rice from sticking.
- Lower the heat until the liquid is at a very low simmer. Cover the pot.
- Allow the rice to simmer for about 20 minutes, or until most of the liquid is absorbed.
- Remove the pot from heat and let it sit with the lid on for about 10 minutes.
- Remove the lid and fluff the rice with a fork. Season with additional salt, if desired.
- Top with scallions and sesame seeds, if desired. Serve.
