Instructions
- Add rice to a fine mesh strainer and rinse under cool running water for 1-2 minutes, or until the water runs clear. Let drain and dry completely.
- Pour water and coconut milk into a medium-sized pot and bring to a boil. Once boiling add salt and rinsed and drained rice.
- Bring the ingredients back to a boil and then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes. Check on the rice after 20 minutes to see if it is done.
- Once cooked, turn off heat and stir in the toasted coconut flakes, if desired. Serve immediately as is or with a sprinkle of basil chiffonade. Enjoy!
Notes
- How to prep ahead of time: While rice is best right after cooking, you can make it up to 1 to 2 days early.
- How to store: Keep leftover coconut rice in an airtight container in the refrigerator, for up to 3-4 days.
- How to freeze: The coconut rice can be frozen in an airtight, freezer-safe container for up to 3-4 months. Allow it to defrost completely before reheating.
- How to reheat: Place the rice to a skillet over medium-low heat with a little oil or some water. Stir frequently while cooking for 4-5 minutes until completely warm.
