Coconut rice is a fragrant and flavorful dish made from rice cooked in coconut milk. Coconut rice is easy to make and is a great way to add a tropical twist to your meal. The coconut milk imparts a rich and creamy flavor to the rice and also makes it more filling and satisfying.

Place all the following ingredients in a saucepan: coconut milk, rice, 1 cup of water, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Turn the oven to high heat. Cover the saucepan with a lid.
Reduce the heat to medium-low once the mixture reaches a boil and let it simmer gently. Allow it to continue simmering for 15 minutes until all the liquid has been fully absorbed.
Remove from the heat and set aside for 10 minutes to cool. Fluff with a fork. Sprinkle the dish with coconut flakes, and add a little slice of butter.

Before cooking, rinse the rice several times to remove excess starch and improve the texture.
Add aromatic spices like cardamom, cinnamon, or pandan leaves to enhance the flavor.

Bon Appetit!
