Instructions

Rinse the rice and drain well. Place the rice in a medium sauce pan along with the coconut milk, water and salt and stir well.

Place the pan on the stove top and bring to a boil over high heat. Cover, reduce the heat to low and cook for 20 minutes longer or until all of the liquid has been absorbed. Remove from heat and fluff the rice with a fork, then cover once more and allow the rice to steam in the pot for 10 more minutes.

Serve garnished with freshly chopped cilantro, if desired, and enjoy!
