How to Make Coconut Creamed Rice Microwave
- Rinse 1/2 cup of rice in a fine-mesh colander under cold water until the water runs clear.
- Drain the rice well.
- In a 2-quart microwave-safe bowl, combine the rinsed rice, 1 can (13.5 oz) of full-fat coconut milk, 1/2 cup of water, 2 tablespoons of butter, and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar (or Splenda to taste). Stir until well combined.
- Microwave uncovered on HIGH for 6 minutes. Stir gently.
- Microwave on HIGH for another 6 minutes. Stir gently.
- Microwave on HIGH for a final 6 minutes. If your microwave runs hot, reduce to MEDIUM power for the final 6 minutes.
- Remove from microwave and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes to allow the rice to fully absorb the liquid.
- Spoon the warm coconut creamed rice into bowls. Drizzle with extra coconut milk and top with sliced banana and shredded coconut for the ultimate tropical experience!
