Ingredients:

➤1 cup long-grain white rice

➤1 cup coconut milk

➤1 cup water

➤1 tablespoon coconut oil or vegetable oil

➤1/2 teaspoon salt

➤Optional: shredded coconut for garnish

➤Optional: chopped cilantro or parsley for garnish

Instructions:

1. Rinse the rice: Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess          starch.

2. Combine ingredients: In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, coconut milk, water,             coconut oil, and salt.

3. Bring to a boil: Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil.

4. Reduce heat: Once it boils, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, and             simmer for about 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.

5. Fluff the rice: Once the rice is cooked, remove the saucepan from the heat and let it sit, covered, for        an additional 5 minutes. Then, fluff the rice gently with a fork to separate the grains.

6. Serve: Transfer the coconut rice to a serving dish. If desired, garnish with shredded coconut and              chopped cilantro or parsley.

Enjoy your delicious coconut rice as a side dish with curries, grilled meats, or vegetables!
