My whole family really enjoyed this Coconut Rice. It was very tasty. And it's such an easy recipe to make. I didn't realize until I started making this dish that the brand of coconut milk I usually buy is no longer 15 ounces---it's now only 13 ounces. Well, I knew I needed the right amount of liquid so the rice texture would be right, so I added enough water to make it 2 full cups of liquid. I worried it would taste washed out, but it didn't. It was perfect. This will be my "usual" rice recipe to go with main dishes that have a tropical feel to them. It was wonderful! Made for ZWT5.

The flavor of this rice was very good and it was easy to prepare. I served it as a side dish with some grilled chicken breasts. However, for us it tastes more like a dessert than a savory dish, so next time I'll replace the salt and pepper with some sugar and cinnamon ;) Thank you for posting! Made & reviewed for the Dining Daredevils and ZWT5.
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I joined Recipezaar to learn new recipes that are home cooked. I grew up having ready-meals like Encor and Stouffers and needed recipes that don't simply require opening a box and plopping in the oven! I enjoy cooking when I have the time to try new dishes. I make every recipe as written if I'm reviewing it to give a true review. If I make alterations that aren't in the directions, I don't feel it's a true reflection of the recipe; it's another recipe to me.
