Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup White rice
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 1.5 cups Water
- 3 tablespoons Sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Shredded coconut (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a microwave-safe bowl with a capacity of at least 6 cups, combine the white rice, water, coconut milk, sugar, and salt.
Stir the ingredients together until the sugar and salt have dissolved evenly.
Cover the bowl lightly with a microwave-safe plate or plastic wrap, leaving a small vent for steam to escape.
Microwave the mixture on high power for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, remove the bowl carefully (it will be hot) and stir the rice to redistribute the liquid.
Continue microwaving on medium power for an additional 5 minutes, or until the rice is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
Stir in the vanilla extract and mix well. Let the rice sit for 5 minutes to thicken further as it cools slightly.
Spoon the creamed rice into serving bowls, and if desired, garnish with shredded coconut for extra texture and flavor.
Serve warm or let it cool and refrigerate to serve as a chilled dessert.
