Savory Coconut Rice

Savory Coconut Rice
  • 1 1/2 cups jasmine or long-grain white rice
  • 1 teaspoon finely grated fresh ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk (not coconut cream)
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1/4 cup toasted coconut for garnish


  1. Place rice in a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Add grated ginger, kosher salt, red chili flakes, and turmeric. Pour in water and coconut milk. Whisk until mixture is well combined (do not stir again).
  2. Place pan over medium-high heat and bring to a simmer. When mixture starts to bubble and reaches a low simmer, place bay leaf on the surface, cover tightly, and reduce heat to low. Cook for 18 minutes without taking off the lid. Remove pan from heat and let sit 5 minutes, covered. Fluff rice with a fork.
