How to Make Coconut Creamed Rice Microwave

  1. Rinse 1/2 cup of rice in a fine-mesh colander under cold water until the water runs clear.
  2. Drain the rice well.
  3. 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.
  4. Microwave uncovered on HIGH for 6 minutes. Stir gently.
  5. Microwave on HIGH for another 6 minutes. Stir gently.
  6. Microwave on HIGH for a final 6 minutes. If your microwave runs hot, reduce to MEDIUM power for the final 6 minutes.
  7. Remove from microwave and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes to allow the rice to fully absorb the liquid.
  8. 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!
