    Preparation Steps

    1

    Rinse the jasmine rice thoroughly in cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch, ensuring the rice remains fluffy.

    2

    In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil with a pinch of salt, then add the rice. Cover and simmer over low heat for 12-15 minutes, or until the rice is fully cooked and tender.

    3

    While the rice is cooking, dice the watermelon into small cubes and finely chop the fresh mint. Toast the almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.

    4

    Once the rice is cooked, stir in the coconut milk and honey until well combined.

    5

    Add the diced watermelon and toasted almonds, then gently mix, being careful not to crush the watermelon.

    6

    Garnish with fresh mint and serve chilled or at room temperature as a dessert or light summer side dish.
