Description

A fragrant and subtly spiced rice dish simmered in coconut milk and vegetable broth, perfect for any meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup jasmine rice
  • 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
  • 1 cup vegetable broth or water
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
  2. Combine the rinsed rice, coconut milk, vegetable broth (or water), turmeric powder, and salt in a medium saucepan.
  3. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in the olive oil or butter for added richness.
  5. Fluff the rice with a fork and garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.

Notes

Rinsing the rice thoroughly prevents it from becoming gummy. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
