• servings: 6 servings
• active time: 5 minutes
• total time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups long-grain jasmine rice ($0.73)

1 clove garlic, minced ($0.04)

3/4 tsp salt ($0.03)

1 13.5oz. can coconut milk ($1.64)

1 cup water ($0.00)

Directions

Rinse the jasmine rice using a wire mesh strainer or a bowl, making sure to pour off as much excess water as possible. Add the rinsed rice to a pot along with the minced garlic and salt.

Add the coconut milk and water to the pot. Give the rice a brief stir.

Place a lid on the pot, turn the heat up to high, and allow the liquid to come up to a full boil. Once it reaches a full boil, turn the heat down to low. Allow the rice to simmer over low for 15 minutes. Make sure the pot maintains a simmer. Do not stir or lift the lid as the rice simmers.

After simmering for 15 minutes, remove the pot from the heat and let the rice rest an additional 5 minutes without lifting the lid. Finally, after the rice has rested, you lift the lid and fluff with a fork. Serve hot.
