Sweet Coconut Rice
Melucy
"Delicious sweet coconut rice that can be thrown in a rice cooker or done on the stove. This is great when paired with a Thai green curry or stir-fry! Ideally, make this with either jasmine rice or long-grain white rice."

Ready In
- Stir rice, coconut milk, and water together in a saucepan. Dissolve sugar into the liquid.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer, reduce heat to medium-low, place a cover on the saucepan, and simmer until the majority of the liquid has been absorbed by the rice, 15 to 20 minutes. Leaving saucepan on the burner, turn heat off and let rice steam until sticky, about 5 to 10 minutes more. Garnish with shredded coconut.
Footnotes
- Cook's Note:
- Check liquid for sweetness before cooking. I dip a spoon in to taste the liquid and make sure it's sweet enough.
- If you are nuts for coconut like me, add the shredded coconut as a garnish prior to serving.
- Tip
- Aluminum foil helps keep food moist, ensures it cooks evenly, keeps leftovers fresh, and makes clean-up easy.

Fabulous! Just like in the restaurants. I used a rice cooker instead of stovetop and it turned out perfect.

I had coconut rice for the first time last week in a Thai restaurant. This is a perfect match. Delicious! Thanks so much for the recipe. I used brown jasmine rice in mine.
