This is extremely smooth and creamy - almost reminds me of risotto in texture. I used short-grain rice and a 1:1 mix of water and broth, instead of 2 cups of broth. Makes a good side dish or a lunch with some fruit.

Something a little different, but very tasty. Liked the creaminess of the rice, and the hint of ginger. I served this with a tomato chicken dish I make. Thanks for posting. =)

This is definitely the best coconut rice EVER! Creamy, smooth and light! We loved this!! Made with Salmon #109817 and Succotash #9129, all the flavors accented each other very well. Thank you for a new favorite and a often made recipe in our house!
