Coconut Jasmine Rice in Rice Cooker

Ingredients

• 2 cups jasmine rice
• 1 can coconut milk 13.5 oz, I recommend using full-fat version for the best result
• 1 ¾ cups water
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon sugar  adjust to your taste
• chopped fresh cilantro optional for garnish

Instructions 

1. Add rice to the rice cooker and rinse it in water until the water runs clear. Drain well. This process helps remove excess starch and prevents the rice from getting too sticky. You can skip this process if you prefer a sticky texture.
2. Add the coconut milk, water, salt, and sugar.
3. Mix the ingredients by stirring gently with a spoon so that they are evenly distributed.
4. Place the pot into the rice cooker and close the lid. Set it to cook on white rice setting. (For most models, it’s the “Regular” or “Start” setting.) Let the rice cooker complete the cooking cycle, which can take 40 minutes to 1 hour. The exact cooking time varies depending on your rice cooker model.
5. Once finished, the rice cooker will switch to “Warm”. Keep the lid on and let the rice steam for 5-10 minutes.
6. Open the lid, fluff with the rice cooker paddle and garnish with chopped cilantro.
