Rinse jasmine rice under cold water until water runs clear.

Soak rice in water for 30 minutes, then drain.

In a pot, combine coconut milk, water, salt, lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, and galangal.

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.

Add the drained rice to the pot and stir gently.

Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid and reduce heat to low.
