    • ¾ cup water
    • ½ cup coconut milk

    Ingredients and Kitchen Tools I Use


    Instructions

    Add water, coconut milk, sugar and salt to a rice cooker, stir to mix. Turn the rice cooker on and heat until warm to make sure the salt and sugar are dissolved. Add the rice, stir to break up any lumps, and let the rice cook until done as per usual. Once the rice cooker clicks, let the rice rest for another 10 minutes before opening. After resting, fluff the rice with a spatula. Serve.

    If using a pot, add water, coconut milk, sugar and salt to a medium sized pot; stir to mix. Heat the liquid over medium heat until warm to make sure the sugar and salt are dissolved. Add the rice, stir to break up any lumps, and cover. Once the liquid comes back to a simmer, turn the heat down to low, and let cook until the liquid is all absorbed and the rice is done, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat immediately once done, let the rice rest for 10 minutes before opening, then fluff the rice with a spatula.

        This should work with any kind of white rice, but you may have to adjust the amount of water needed for that specific rice. I have not done this in the IP but you can adjust the total amount of liquid to match what you normally use, keeping the coconut milk amount the same.

          Yes, I think basmati takes about the same amount of water as jasmine rice.
