Instant Pot Coconut Rice (Perfect Every Time!)
Can you smell that? A hint of coconut wafting through the air! This dish is perfect for getting you in the mood for beach vibes, even if you’re just lounging in your living room. So, roll up your sleeves and let’s dive into the creamy goodness!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup jasmine rice
- 1 cup coconut milk (the good stuff, not the low-fat nonsense!)
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Optional: a pinch of sugar for that extra pop of goodness!
Instructions:
- Start by rinsing your jasmine rice like it’s been out all night and needs to freshen up. Rinse it until the water runs clear.
- Now, combine your rinsed rice, coconut milk, water, salt, and that optional pinch of sugar in your Instant Pot. Give it a gentle stir – we’re not looking for a wrestling match here.
- Secure the lid on your Instant Pot and set it to the ‘Rice’ function or manual setting for 4 minutes. That’s right, just four minutes! The rice doesn’t know it’s a superstar, but it is.
- Once the countdown finishes, let it naturally release for about 10 minutes. Pro tip: if you’re impatient, you can do a quick release, but I recommend using the natural method for fluffier rice. It’s worth the wait!
- After that, carefully release any pressure left in the pot. Take a deep breath, open the lid, and behold the coconutty clouds of rice! Fluff it with a fork, and if you’re feeling fancy, sprinkle a bit more salt or coconut flakes on top.
And voilà! You’ve mastered the art of Coconut Rice. Serve it as a side, top it with a sprinkle of your favorite toppings, or eat it straight from the pot (we won’t judge). It’s creamy, dreamy, and ready to be devoured! Enjoy your dish and don’t forget to send some virtual high-fives for the sheer awesomeness you’ve just created!
