Sauté the Garlic: In a medium saucepan, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Mix the Liquid: Pour in the coconut milk and water, stirring well to combine. You can also use a full can of coconut milk (about 1 3/4 cups) and just 1/4 cup of water for a richer coconut flavor.
Bring to a Boil: Increase the heat and bring the liquid to a gentle boil. Add salt to taste.
Add the Rice: Stir in the jasmine rice, ensuring it is evenly distributed in the liquid. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 15-18 minutes, or until the rice absorbs all the liquid.
Fluff and Serve: Remove from heat and let the rice sit, covered, for another 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork before serving. Garnish with toasted coconut for extra flavor and texture.
