  • 1 can coconut cream
  • 1 cup jasmine rice
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter

Let's Cook

  1. Step 1.

    In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, combine 1 (19-ounce) can coconut cream, 1 cup jasmine rice, 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, and 1½ teaspoons kosher salt. Stir to combine and bring to a boil.

  2. Step 2.

    Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan tightly, and simmer until the rice is tender and has absorbed all the liquid, about 20 minutes. Do not lift the lid during cooking.

  3. Step 3.

    Remove the pan from the heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Then fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
