Chef's tip
Season to taste - salt substitutes can taste bitter in larger amounts, so start with less.

For serving

2 tbsp toasted shredded coconut (optional)
2 tbsp fresh cilantro, roughly chopped (optional)

Instructions

1
Place the jasmine rice in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse under cold running water, stirring with your hand, until the water runs mostly clear, about 30 seconds. Shake off the excess water.
2
Shake the can of coconut milk well before opening. Combine the rinsed rice, coconut milk, water, sugar, and salt in a medium saucepan. Stir once to distribute the salt and sugar.
