For best results, use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to ensure even cooking and prevent scorching. Do not lift the lid during the 18-minute cooking time or the 5-minute resting time, as this will release steam and affect the final texture of the rice. Toasting the coconut adds a delightful nutty flavor and crunchy texture. Toast it in a dry pan over medium heat until golden brown, watching carefully to prevent burning.

Feb 8, 2025I substituted brown rice, and it worked perfectly! I just added an extra 1/2 cup of liquid and cooked it for a bit longer.

Apr 21, 2024I loved that it wasn't too sweet like other coconut rice recipes. The ginger and chili flakes add just the right amount of spice.
