Cooking Rice In Coconut Milk Instead Of Water

Coconut Rice - Delish.com

Emily Hlavac Green

Coconut rice is a Thai style rice that uses a slightly different method than you would normally use to cook rice. Typically, you would bring the water to a boil first before adding the rice, but for coconut rice you bring the milk, water, and rice all to a boil together. Replacing half of the water with coconut milk makes the rice slightly sticky and much more flavorful. We want to eat with everything! Especially with our favorite pineapple baked salmon.
