- 1½ cups filtered water
- 1 can (or 1½ cups) full-fat coconut milk
- ½ tsp salt (optional, to taste)
INSTRUCTIONS
- In a saucepan, combine rice, water, coconut milk, and salt. Stir to combine.

- Remove from heat and let sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving.
TIPS & VARIATIONS
- For crunch, top the coconut rice with toasted coconut flakes or chopped nuts before serving.
- Add a burst of tropical flavour by stirring in fresh lime zest and juice after cooking.
- For a more natural option, consider making your own coconut milk or use canned coconut milk that is free of additives.
So simple to make and is a perfect side dish.
