This Thai Coconut Rice is perfectly fluffy, rich, flavorful, and so delicious. The recipe is easy to make and pairs really well with Asian-style dishes. Adding ripe avocado, some fresh herbs, a sprinkle of sesame seeds, or your favorite chutney for garnish makes everything just perfect.

This recipe is best made with jasmine or basmati rice. The secret to perfectly cooked coconut rice? First, rinse the rice until the water that drains away runs almost clear. Then, use full-fat canned coconut milk for best results, and you’ll be rewarded with an exceptionally flavorful dish. Remember to shake the can before you open it to mix the coconut cream at the top with the liquid. Finally, allow the rice to steam covered for 10 minutes after the heat is off for the truly fluffy rice. Serve and enjoy!
