Coconut Rice – Low Sodium Version

Ingredients

1/2 cup Lite Coconut Milk

Prior to opening the can of coconut milk, shake very well.

In a medium sauce pain, heat the coconut milk, water and salt. When the liquid boils, stir in the jasmine rice.

Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, partially covered, for 20-30 minutes.

Do not boil away all of the liquid and do not stir the rice.

When a very small amount of liquid remains, remove the pan from the burner and let it stand, covered, for 5 minutes before serving.

Recipe Notes

Never stir rice. It doesn’t matter how you cook it, stirring it breaks down the starches on the outer layer and turns the rice to a gooey paste. Simply place the rice in the boiling liquid, stir once and cover. Leave it alone until the water is evaporated.

"Rice is a beautiful food. It is beautiful when it grows, precision rows of sparkling green stalks shooting up to reach the hot summer sun. It is beautiful when harvested, autumn gold sheaves piled on diked, patchwork paddies. It is beautiful when, once threshed, it enters granary bins like a (flood) of tiny seed-pearls. It is beautiful when cooked by a practiced hand, pure white and sweetly fragrant."
