Jamaican White Rice AKA Coconut Milk Rice

jamaican white rice

If you have never cooked rice in a pressure cooker (like Instant Pot or Crockpot Express) you are in for a treat. The rice comes out perfect every time. You will never cook rice another way again! 

Today we are playing around with Jamaican White Rice, otherwise known as coconut milk rice. The sweet little side dish is perfect to serve with any Caribbean or Jamaican meal. I like to serve it with my Smoked Mojo Pork or Shrimp Pineapple Bowl!

This rice is very versatile!
