Procedure For Making Coconut Jasmine Rice
- Wash the jasmine rice thoroughly in icy water till the water is clear. This assists in removing extra starch and keeps the rice from getting too sticky.
- Combine the washed rice, coconut milk, salt, water, and sugar (if desired) in a medium pot. To blend, stir.
- Set the mixture to a boil in the pan over medium-high heat.
- After it boils, lower the heat to low and put a tight-fitting lid on the pan. Allow it to simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and has soaked up all the liquid. To capture steam during this period, keep the lid on.
- When the mixture has reached a simmer, turn off the heat and let it stand, covered, for a further ten minutes. This enables the rice to steam and puff up more.
- To separate the grains, use a fork to fluff the coconut jasmine rice. It is now prepared for serving.
- Use your coconut jasmine rice as an appetizer to go with a range of main dishes or as a foundation for stir-fries, curries, or grilled meats. The fragrant jasmine rice and subdued coconut flavour make it a tasty and adaptable addition to your dishes.
