jasmine coconut rice in a rice cooker
Ingredients:
1 ½ cups Thai jasmine white rice
1 14-ounce can good-quality coconut milk (not "lite")
1 ¼ cup water
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
3 tablespoons dry shredded coconut
Directions:
Rinse the rice until the water runs clear.
Place the rice in the rice cooker. Add the water, coconut milk, salt, and shredded coconut. Stir well with a plastic or wooden spoon. Cover and set to cook.
Once your rice cooker switches to "warm" mode, allow another 8 to 10 minutes for the rice to finish steaming.
Gently fluff with chopsticks before serving. Taste for salt. Stir in a pinch of salt if needed.
