Coconut White Rice

Instructions

1. 1

   Rinse the white rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

2. 2

   In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, coconut milk, water, sugar, and salt.

3. 3

   Stir the mixture well to ensure the sugar and salt are dissolved.

4. 4

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

5. 5

   Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a lid, and let it simmer for about 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.

6. 6

   Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes to allow the rice to finish steaming.

7. 7

   Fluff the rice with a fork and gently stir in the shredded coconut.

8. 8

   Serve the coconut white rice warm as a side dish or enjoy it on its own.
