Coconut Rice

This is a very nice mild and creamy dish to serve with spicy curries.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups Thai Kitchen Jasmine Rice
1 (14 oz.) can Thai Kitchen Pure Coconut Milk (Regular or Lite)
1 1/4 cups water
1 tsp. sugar
pinch of salt
Optional garnishes: toasted shredded coconut and chopped fresh cilantro

Rinse jasmine rice with water and drain well. In a saucepan combine coconut milk, water, sugar and salt. Stir until sugar is dissolved and the ingredients are well blended. Stir in jasmine rice; mix well. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Cover tightly, reduce heat, and simmer 18 to 20 minutes. Check for doneness at end of cooking time and add a little more water if necessary and simmer for a few more minutes. Sprinkle with shredded coconut and chopped cilantro, if desired. Makes 4 to 6 servings.
