Asian Coconut Rice

This rice recipe is EXCELLENT! It goes great alongside any Asian dish with its subtle coconut charm. And it's so easy to make! I love it, love it, love it. Serves 4.

Asian Coconut Rice

1 - 13.5 oz can coconut milk
1 1/2 c water
1 tsp sugar
1/8 tsp salt
1 1/2 c uncooked jasmine rice
2 Tbsp shredded coconut, optional

Rice Cooker Instructions
1. Add milk, water, sugar and salt to rice cooker; stir together. Add rice and coconut, stir once more, close lid and cook. Stir and serve.

Stovetop Instructions
1. Add milk, water, sugar and salt to medium saucepan; stir together. Add rice and coconut; bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 15 to 20 minutes, or until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender (the coconut milk will kind of coat the top so don't mistake that for unabsorbed liquid). Stir and serve.
