Ingredients

  • 1 cup jasmine rice
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro

Instructions

  1. Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
  2. In your Instant Pot, combine the rinsed rice, coconut milk, water, sugar, and salt. Stir well.
  3. Close the Instant Pot lid and seal the vent. Set it to Pressure Cook on high for 4 minutes.
  4. Once the cooking time is complete, allow the pressure to naturally release for 10 minutes, then quick-release any remaining pressure.
  5. Open the lid and fluff the rice gently with a fork. Stir in the toasted shredded coconut, reserving a small amount for garnish.
  6. Serve the coconut rice warm, garnished with a sprinkle of toasted coconut and fresh cilantro on top.

💡 Chef's Notes

Use full-fat coconut milk for extra creaminess.
