Ingredients
- 2 Cups of long grain rice
- 14 fl oz. Can of unsweetened coconut milk
- 2 Teaspoons of sugar
- ½ Teaspoon of salt

Instructions
- Prep the rice for cooking: Get out a medium-sized pot and add the coconut milk, sugar, salt, and remaining water needed. Stir all of these ingredients until the sugar has dissolved. Add in the rice, place the pot over high heat, and let it come to a boil.
- Cook the rice: Once it comes to a boil cover the pot with a lid and turn down the heat to low. Let the rice simmer undisturbed for 18 to 20 minutes.
- Turn off the heat and let the rice rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Then take the lid off of the pot and use a fork to fluff the rice.
- Serve rice in a bowl garnished with the toasted coconut flakes, enjoy.
Notes
The amount of cold water needed will vary depending on the type of rice you use. To calculate this, subtract 14 fl oz. from the amount of water needed for 2 cups for your rice brand. For example, if your brand calls for 3 cups of water for 2 cups of rice simply subtract 14 fl oz from 3 cups(24 fl oz). This leaves you with 10 fl oz or 1¼ Cup of water.
