Easy Coconut Rice

1Gather the ingredients.

2Rub the oil over the bottom of a deep-sided pot. You will also need a tight-fitting lid.

3Rinse the rice and place it in a pot along with the coconut milk (2 cups), water (1¾ cups), and salt (½ teaspoon). Set over medium-high to high heat. Stir occasionally to keep rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot and burning.

4Once the coconut-water (1¾ cups) has begun to gently bubble, stop stirring and reduce heat to low or medium-low so the water (1¾ cups) simmers.

5Cover tightly with a lid and let simmer 15 to 20 minutes, or until most of the liquid has been absorbed by the rice.

6To check, pull the rice aside with a fork. If most of the coconut milk (2 cups)-water (1¾ cups) is gone, go on to the next step.

7Turn off the heat, but leave the covered pot on the burner another 5 to 10 minutes, or until you're ready to eat. When you're ready to serve the rice, remove the lid and fluff rice with a fork or chopsticks. Taste-test the rice for salt (½ teaspoon), adding a little more if needed.

8Serve right out of the pot, or transfer to a serving bowl.

9Enjoy!
