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.

I want to leave you with some Instant Pot Coconut Rice meal combinations! My first choice? Our Instant Pot Korean Beef (pictured). Here are a few other options.

Storage

Let leftover rice cool completely. Then, transfer it into an airtight container and store it in the fridge for up to 3-5 days.

Ingredients 

Instructions 

  • Place all ingredients inside of your Instant Pot and stir.
  • Cook on high pressure for 5 minutes. It will take around 8 minutes to build enough pressure to start counting down.
  • Once the timer goes off, natural release the pressure in the Instant Pot for 10 minutes. 
  • Remove the top of the Instant Pot and fluff the rice with a fork. All of the liquid should have dissolved at this point.

Tips & Notes

  • This recipe was updated November 23, 2021. Check out the old recipe here.
  • There may be a few browner pieces of rice, but this is because the honey caramelizes. It’s my favorite part of this whole recipe because it gives it great texture!
