How to Make Coconut Rice
- Rinse 1 cup of rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
- In a medium saucepan, combine 3 cups of creamy coconut milk (homemade or store-bought), 1 cup rinsed rice, 1 cup water, and 1 bay leaf.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, uncovered.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover the saucepan, and simmer for approximately 18-20 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed and the rice is cooked through. Cooking time may vary depending on the type of rice used; refer to your rice package instructions.
- Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes.
- Discard the bay leaf and fluff the rice with a fork before serving. Garnish as desired (optional: toasted coconut flakes, chopped cilantro).
