Recipe Instructions
Rice Cooker Coconut Rice – beautiful, tender, aromatic jasmine rice, cooked in the rice cooker with creamy coconut milk and a little touch of sugar and salt. I love to top mine with toasted coconut, lime zest and some finely chopped coriander (cilantro) A truly luxurious side dish!
We have a Zojirushi rice cooker (https://geni.us/rice-cooker – affiliate link) – which is a little on the pricey side, but this one takes up to 10 cups of rice (almost 2kg of raw rice!) so it’s great when batch cooking or cooking for a crowd.
I’ve must have used it 100+ times, with the rice turning our perfectly every single time.
They do have smaller versions – such as this 3 cup version (https://geni.us/3cupricecooker –affiliate) which is a lot cheaper on Amazon USA than Amazon UK (*note* US Amazon ships to the UK!). However, I’ve been told that most rice cookers, even the cheaper ones, do a great job. So personally, I’d just look for some good reviews and get the one that suits your budget and family size.

Ingredients
500 g (2 1/2 cups) jasmine rice
400 ml (14oz) tin full fat coconut milk
300 ml (11.5floz) water
1 tsp sugar
½ tsp salt
To Serve:
Toasted shredded coconut to serve see tip
2 tbsp finely chopped coriander cilantro
Finely grated zest of 1 lime
Instructions
1. First we need to rinse the rice. I do this directly in the rice cooker pot. Simply cover the rice with cold water, give it a really good swirl, let the rice settle at the bottom of the pan again for 1-2 seconds, then pour off the excess water.
2. Repeat this rinsing 3-4 times, until the water is almost clear. On the last rinse, try to pour off as much of the water as possible.
3. Pour over the coconut milk, water, sugar and salt.
4. Stir once (don’t stir again after this).
5. Turn on the rice cooker and let it run the rice cooking cycle for white rice (this can be different times for different models).
6. Once cooked, serve as is, or you can top with shredded toasted coconut, chopped coriander and lime zest
Notes
Why rinse the rice?
This removes some of the starch. The excess starch in the rice causes the rice to be a little stickier and clumpier. The addition of coconut milk in this recipe also adds stickiness to the rice. So it’s best to rinse the rice so it’s not overly sticky.
