Creamy Coconut Pineapple Rice (Printable Version)

# What You'll Need:

→ Grains

01 - 200 g jasmine rice

→ Liquids

02 - 400 ml full-fat coconut milk
03 - 200 ml water

→ Fruits

04 - 150 g fresh pineapple chunks

→ Seasoning & Garnishes

05 - 1 g fine sea salt (pinch)
06 - 15 g toasted coconut flakes (optional)
07 - 5 g fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped

# Step-by-Step Directions:

01 - Thoroughly rinse jasmine rice under cold water using a fine mesh strainer until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
02 - In a medium saucepan, combine rinsed rice, coconut milk, water, and salt. Bring mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat.
03 - Reduce heat to low, cover with a lid, and simmer for 18 minutes or until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender.
04 - Remove saucepan from heat and let sit covered for 5 minutes. Then gently fluff rice with a wooden spoon or rice paddle.
05 - Fold pineapple chunks into the fluffed rice evenly.
06 - Sprinkle toasted coconut flakes and chopped fresh herbs on top before serving warm.

# Helpful Notes:

01 - Full-fat canned coconut milk yields creamier texture; light versions can be used for reduced fat.
