This Coconut Jasmine Rice puts an aromatic fragrance into the air that brings everybody into the kitchen to investigate what’s cooking. Not only does it smell amazing, it has a warm and comforting flavor that matches its fragrance.
This recipe is a simple and quick side dish that compliments just about any meat that you want to pair it with. Honestly, I could eat this Coconut Jasmine Rice just about every day, that’s how much I love it.
I first tasted a similar coconut rice on a quick anniversary trip to Park City with my husband. We went to the Butcher’s Chop House restaurant for dinner. I ordered prime rib, coconut rice, and bacon brussel sprouts. The prime rib was good but I think I liked the coconut rice and brussel sprouts the best. I haven’t been able to stop thinking about the rice, hence the recipe today. I know that once you try it, you are going to fall in love with it just like I did.
With love from my kitchen to yours,
