Coconut Ginger Rice
Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a medium saucepan, combine the jasmine rice, coconut milk, water, grated fresh ginger, and salt. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.
-
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan with a lid. Let the rice simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the liquid has been absorbed and the rice is tender.
-
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it sit covered for an additional 5 minutes. This allows the rice to steam and become perfectly fluffy.
-
Fluff the rice with a fork to separate the grains. Drizzle the coconut oil over the rice and gently stir to incorporate.
-
Transfer the Coconut Ginger Rice to a serving dish and garnish with fresh chopped cilantro.
