Coconut Ginger Rice Recipe

This coconut rice recipe is made with creamy coconut milk, fragrant ginger, and unsweetened coconut for an easy and delicious side dish.

📝 Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups long grain white rice ((I prefer jasmine rice))
• 1 tablespoon canola oil
• 1 tablespoon minced ginger
• 1 (15-ounce) can coconut milk
• 1 cup water
• 1/3 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
• big pinch kosher salt
• 1 lime (, juiced (if desired))
• 1 green onion (, thinly sliced)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Rinse the rice. Rinse the rice in a bowl of cool water then drain. Repeat three times or until the water is no longer cloudy.
2. 2Cook the ginger. In a large pot, heat the oil on medium-high. Add the ginger and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. 3Cook the rice. Add the rinsed rice, 1 cup water, a big pinch of kosher salt, the coconut milk (shaking the can before opening), and the coconut flakes. Bring to a boil then reduce to low and cover with a lid. Simmer for 20 minutes.
4. 4Let rest. Turn off the heat and let the rice sit with the lid on for 10 minutes.
5. 5Fluff and serve. Fluff the finished rice with a fork. Add a squeeze of lime juice if desired and sprinkle with the green onion.
