Step 1: Rinse the Rice

Place Jasmine rice in a bowl and rinse under cold water. Swirl with your hands until the water runs clear. This removes starch and prevents clumping.

Step 2: Add Ingredients

Transfer the rinsed rice to your rice cooker pot. Add coconut milk and water. Stir lightly.

Step 3: Season

Sprinkle in garlic powder, black pepper, and sea salt. These simple spices enhance the rice without overpowering it.

Step 4: Start Cooking

Close the lid, select the “Cook” option, and let the rice cooker do its job. No stirring, no watching, no stress.

Step 5: Fluff & Finish

Once the rice cooker switches to “Warm,” open the lid and fluff with a fork. Add a splash of lemon juice and stir in chopped chives.
