Can I make coconut jasmine rice?

I usually use jasmine rice for this coconut rice recipe – it’s my go-to choice here!

Would a brown rice coconut recipe work?

Yes! You can make coconut rice with brown rice, but you’ll need to increase the cooking time since brown rice takes longer. You’ll also need to add more liquid, about ½ cup of water along with the coconut milk for the 1 cup of rice called for in this recipe (so 2 cups total of liquid).

Can you make coconut rice in the Instant Pot?

Yes, but you’ll need to change the method slightly. Follow the instructions in my Instant Pot White Rice Recipe to cook the jasmine rice in water, and then stir in the coconut milk and optional ingredients at the end instead (you’ll likely only use half of the coconut milk to avoid the rice being too soupy). Milk doesn’t cook well under pressure, so you can’t add it at the beginning. This method also works if you prefer a rice cooker.

Ingredients

Scale

1 cup jasmine rice

2 Tbsp flaked coconut
1 Tbsp coconut oil
½ tsp salt
½ lime, squeezed for juice (or 2 tsp lime juice, also optional)
fistful of cilantro (optional)

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

In a medium saucepan with a lid, stir to combine the rice, coconut milk or water, and salt. Add the flaked coconut, coconut oil, and lime juice if using as well.
Bring to a boil, stir well once and cover with lid, reducing heat to low.
Let rice cook on low for approximately 15 minutes, or until all the liquid has been absorbed.
Fluff the cooked rice with a fork and stir in the cilantro if using.

Notes

Store leftover coconut rice in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freezer for up to 4 months. I like to freeze rice in resealable bags to take up less space!
