Several months ago I posted a recipe for Instant Pot Coconut Curry Rice and it was a huge hit and also one of my personal favorite recipes. As much as I love the curry in there it is a spice that doesn’t go with everythin so I ended up creating just a plain coconut rice recipe and thought it was about time that I shared it with you all.
It is similar to the curry coconut rice recipe and the best part is that it only takes minutes to make!
I don’t even know how I cooked rice before owning an instant pot because it seriously turns out perfect every single time.
If you don’t have an instant pot I really can’t recommend one enough (I use THIS one). Amazon has sales ALL the time so keep an eye on it and grab one next time they drop the price because I promise it is SO worth it.
This instant pot coconut rice is great with basically everything and I especially love to serve it with my Slow-Roasted Curry Salmon and Chicken Stir-fry.
Enjoy!
Instant Pot Coconut Rice
- Prep Time: 1
- Cook Time: 4
- Total Time: 15
- Yield: 6 servings 1x
Ingredients
- 1 can full-fat coconut milk*
- ½ cup water or broth
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1 cup jasmine rice
- Cilantro (optional garnish)
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients to the instant pot and mix to combine.
- Secure the lid and set the instant pot on high pressure for 4 minutes
- Let it naturally release for 10 minutes and then finish venting.

Notes
- *Make sure your coconut milk is thick. You want to see a thick layer of coconut cream on top of the can. If the milk is too watery the consistency of the rice won’t be right.

How many oz. should the can of coconut milk be?
Jessi's Kitchen says
Just the standard 13.5 fl oz size. 🙂
Candyse says
Hi Jessi, can I use brown jasmine rice?
Jessi's Kitchen says
I am not sure. I know brown rice usually requires a different water ratio and cooking time. I would imagine that would have to be adjusted. Just not sure what it would be.
MJ says
Have you tried multiplying this recipe for larger groups? Think proportions should stay the same?
Jessi's Kitchen says
I have not tried it and I am not sure. I had one reader try doubling it and it didn’t turn out but hard to know if that was the cause. If you give it a try let me know how it turns out
Debbie says
Was very good. The rice came out creamy, could not flake it.
