Coconut Rice

This easy coconut rice is a staple in our family. We love how flavorful it is and that it’s beyond easy to throw together.

Plus, it’s made with just a few simple ingredients:

white rice

canned coconut milk

water

and salt

That’s it! Just strain your rice, add to a saucepan with a can of coconut milk and a cup of water, bring to a boil then down to a simmer. Cover and simmer for about 20 minutes, add a little salt, and fluff up with a fork. It’s too easy!

We love pairing this with our peanut tofu or grilled peanut tofu satay.
