Easy Coconut Rice

Coconut rice is a Thai style rice that uses a slightly different method than you would normally use to cook rice. Replacing half of the water with coconut milk makes the rice slightly sticky and much more flavorful.

Ingredients

• 2 c. long grain rice, rinsed and drained
• 1 (14-oz.) can coconut milk
• 1 1/2 c. water
• 1 tbsp. granulated sugar
• 1 tsp. kosher salt
• Toasted sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)

Directions

1. Step 1In a large pot over medium heat, combine rice, coconut milk, water, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, and let simmer, covered, 18 to 20 minutes or until rice is tender.
2. Step 2Remove from heat and let sit 10 minutes, then fluff with a fork. Serve topped with sesame seeds, if desired.
