Coconut Rice
This coconut rice is fluffy and cooked to perfection. I may never go back to regular rice after making this coconut version. It has the perfect amount of coconut flavor and the texture of the rice is so addicting you'll keep coming back for more.

1 Sieve
1 Medium Bowl

1 Wooden Spoon
1 8" Square Baking Dish
- 2 Cups Jasmin Rice
- 1 Can Coconut Milk Full Fat
- 1 Cup Water
- 4-5 tsp Sugar

Rinse the rice by placing it into a sieve and running cold water over top for 10 seconds or until the water starts to run clearer.
Transfer the rice to a medium bowl and cover it with cold water. Allow it to soak for 1 hour. Drain well and transfer to your baking dish.
Preheat the oven to 400° near the tail end of letting the rice soak, depending on how long your oven takes to heat up.
Put the coconut milk, water and sugar in a medium pan and cook over medium - medium-high heat until it starts to gently boil and the sugar dissolves.
Pour the hot liquid over the rice and distribute evenly. Quickly cover with tin foil tightly and bake in the preheated oven for 40 min.
Remove the baking dish from the oven, keep it covered and allow it to rest for 15 minutes. Take the cover off and fluff with a fork.
