Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Choose fresh, fragrant coconut milk and premium jasmine rice for the best results.
  • Rinse the rice thoroughly: This removes excess starch and helps prevent the rice from sticking together.
  • Use the right amount of liquid: The ratio of liquid to rice is crucial for achieving perfectly cooked rice. Follow the recipe's instructions carefully.
  • Don't stir the rice while it's cooking: Stirring the rice can break the grains and make the rice mushy. Gently shake the pot or use a fork to fluff the rice once it's done cooking.
  • Let the rice rest before serving: Allowing the rice to rest for a few minutes after cooking helps it absorb any remaining liquid and results in fluffier rice.

With its creamy texture, nutty flavor, and ease of preparation, this recipe is sure to become a favorite in your kitchen.
