A tropical twist on classic rice, combining the sweetness of pineapple and coconut with savory undertones.
Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
Rinsing removes excess starch, preventing the rice from becoming too sticky.
Combine the rice, chicken broth, and coconut milk in a rice cooker. Cook according to the rice cooker's instructions.
Using a rice cooker ensures even cooking and saves time.
Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a spatula and transfer it to a mixing bowl.
Fluffing the rice helps separate the grains for better texture.
Add the crushed pineapple, soy sauce, and brown sugar to the rice. Mix well to combine.
Adjust the seasoning to your taste by adding more soy sauce or sugar.
Top the rice with chopped green onions and toasted coconut flakes before serving.
Toasting the coconut flakes enhances their flavor and adds a crunchy texture.
Serve the rice warm and enjoy your tropical-inspired dish.
Pair with grilled chicken or fish for a complete meal.
