Best Coconut Creamed Rice Microwave Recipes
COCONUT RICE
If you can only find regular coconut milk, buy 2 cans and use the thick cream that's floating at the top. The coconut cream will caramelize during cooking, leaving sweet brown flecks in the rice.

Steps:
- Rinse rice in a large bowl with cool water until water runs clear. Drain rice.
- Combine rice, coconut cream, sugar, salt, and 2 cups water in a medium saucepan. Bring just to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar, then cover and reduce heat to low. (Alternatively, cook rice in an electric rice steamer.) Cook until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 40-45 minutes. Fluff rice with a fork; cover and let sit for 20 minutes.

Steps:
- In a dry skillet, toast the coconut over medium-low heat, stirring, until lightly browned and fragrant, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool (don't leave it in the skillet or it might burn).
- Place the sticky rice in a microwave-safe bowl and cover with 1¾ cups warm water. Let soak for at least 10 minutes or up to 1 hour. Cover the bowl with an upside-down plate or plastic wrap and microwave on high for 3 minutes. Carefully stir the rice from top to bottom, then cover and cook the rice for another 3 minutes. Repeat the process, stirring and microwaving 3 minutes at a time, until all the water has been absorbed and the rice has turned translucent (this means it's cooked). Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a medium saucepan, bring the coconut milk to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer, add the sugar and salt, and stir until they dissolve. Remove from the heat, pour the hot coconut milk over the warm sticky rice, and stir to combine. Let sit for 5 minutes so the rice can absorb the coconut milk.
- Transfer to a serving bowl and top with the toasted coconut. Serve with sliced mango. If desired, garnish with sesame seeds and fresh mint.
