Description
A delicious and easy baked coconut rice recipe that transports you to tropical islands with each creamy bite.
Ingredients
- 1 cup white rice
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup shredded coconut (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a baking dish, combine the rice, coconut milk, water, sugar, and salt. Stir well to mix.
- Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.
- If using, sprinkle shredded coconut on top and bake uncovered for an additional 5-10 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and fluff with a fork before serving.
Notes
For a richer flavor, use full-fat coconut milk. Rinsing the rice before cooking helps achieve fluffier grains. Consider adding toasted shredded coconut for enhanced flavor.
