Ingredients
- 2 cups (14 oz) Jasmine rice
- Jasmine rice requires less water than other rice types. This recipe is tailored for best results using Jasmine rice
- 1 cup rice would yield about 3 cups cooked rice
- 1 (13.5-14 ounce) can full-fat coconut milk, shaken to emulsify all the fat in the liquid
- 2 ounces is one low-FODMAP serving
- 1/2 cup (355ml) water or low-FODMAP Vegan Broth
- The rinsing and soaking process below will add moisture and volume to the rice, so you don’t need as much actual water in the recipe
- 1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Toasted shredded coconut, green scallion tips, optional for garnish
Directions
- Place jasmine rice in a fine mesh colander and rinse under cold water until water runs clean
- Place the rice (can leave in the colander) so that it is immersed in a large bowl of clear water, and allow it to soak for 15 minutes
- Drain rice well and set aside for now
- When ready to cook, place a large saucepan over medium high heat and add your drained rice, coconut milk, water or low-FODMAP Vegan broth, sugar (optional) and salt
- Bring to a simmer so that the entire surface is bubbling lightly, then stir the rice in the pot well and cover with lid
- Turn heat to low and let rice cook, undisturbed for 13-15 minutes
- Remove pot from heat, and let it stand (without peeking!) for 10 minutes
- Fluff rice with a fork, taste and add salt as needed
- Serve garnished with shredded coconut and scallion tips
See how fluffy it is! The BEST.
