Sweet and Savory Coconut Rice

Coconut Rice

From ourbestbites.com

(I halved the recipe and it still made enough for Mark, Tyler, and me with a little leftover)

2 c. white or Jasmine rice (I used basmati, cuz that's what I had)

1 can coconut milk

2 c. water

1 tsp. Kosher salt

Splash of white vinegar (optional, but it helps with the texture) (I didn't do this. I was too chicken)

2-3 tsp. white sugar

Handful of chopped green onions, plus chopped green onion tops for garnish (we're using the whole animal here...)

Black pepper to taste

Combine rice, coconut milk, water, salt, vinegar, and sugar in a saucepan and bring to a boil  Turn heat to low and cover for 20 minutes or until most of the liquid is absorbed.  Allow to stand 5 minutes.  Add green onions, black pepper (if desired), and additional salt if necessary.  Serve with any Asian or tropical-inspired food.
