Notes
Instant Pot Directions:
Add the rinsed jasmine rice, broth, and coconut milk to the pot and seal the lid closed. Set the steam valve in the sealed position.
Cook on manual high pressure for 5 minutes. Allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes, then manually release the remaining steam.
Fluff the rice with a fork and stir in the shredded coconut and fresh lime juice. Garnish with cilantro and serve.
Stovetop Directions:
Add the rinsed jasmine rice, coconut milk, and broth (or water) to a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook until the rice has absorbed all of the liquid.
Fluff the rice with a fork and stir in the shredded coconut and fresh lime juice. Garnish with cilantro and serve.
