What You Need
So what do you need to make this Instant Pot coconut rice? Only 4 simple ingredients!
Long-grain white rice: we recommend any long-grain rice such as basmati or jasmine. Make sure to use white rice and not brown. Full-fat coconut milk: we are huge fans of full-fat coconut rice because it’s so flavorful, but you can also use the “lite” version. Water: you only need 1/4 cup water for this reciep because the coconut milk provides a lot of liquid. Honey: honey is used for a little bit of sweet to really bring out that coconutty flavor.
