1. Thai Coconut Rice
Ingredients
Coconut Essence
Jasmine Blossom Thai Rice
Sea Salt
Shredded Dried Coconut
Cooking Process
Firstly, rinse the rice with water to enhance its delightful stickiness.
Next, place the rice in a pot along with coconut essence and shredded coconut, and finally, add a bit of cold water. Stir well to let the rice absorb the coconut essence, creating a fragrant aroma, then turn on the cooking mode.
Once the rice is cooked, gently fluff it once and cook it again. After the second cooking cycle, you can serve and savor the rice.

Thinly Sliced Coconut
150 grams Onions
1 clove of garlic.
Cooking Process
Rinse the rice to remove impurities, then place it in a pot for initial processing.
Add a bit of butter to the pot, melt it, then sauté the garlic until fragrant.
Combine rice and butter, stirring thoroughly.
Add coconut water, along with chicken broth and a portion of cold water to the pot. Cover and simmer over low heat until the rice is cooked.
Stir once to let the rice grains become tender, then it's ready to be served.
3. Coconut Rice with Dried Grapes
Apart from the two coconut rice cooking methods above, you can also prepare coconut rice with dried grapes for a unique twist.
Ingredients
370 grams Jasmine Rice
20 grams Sugar
80 grams Seedless Dried Grapes
Coconut Essence
40 grams Dried Coconut
Salt
Cooking Instructions
Rinse the rice thoroughly and remove impurities before placing it in the pot with coconut essence, sugar, salt, and a bit of filtered water. Cover and cook until the rice boils, then reduce to low heat until most of the steam evaporates.
Lower the heat to the minimum, cover to let the rice grains soften. Next, add dried grapes and stir evenly for about 5 minutes. The dried grapes should have expanded by then.
