Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 14.5-ounce can lite coconut milk
1/2 cup water
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup (can substitute granulated sugar)
1/3 cup scallions (white and pale green parts only, chopped, plus 2 tablespoons sliced green parts for garnish)
2 cups white jasmine rice (rinsed)

Steps:

Set a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the coconut milk, water, salt, and maple syrup. Bring mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally. Once boiling, add the scallions and slowly pour in the rice. Stir to combine. As soon as it returns to a boil, reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer, uncovering to stir occasionally then re-covering, until most of the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender, 8-10 minutes.
Top with remaining scallions and serve.
