I wanted to make coconut rice with the coconut water. This recipe worked except I would never again put in sugar! It was too sweet. You can also use 1 TSP fresh crushed ginger (comes in frozen cubes). Add 1/2 cup chopped fresh mango and 1/2 cup chopped pistachios to this for a great side, or the mango and chopped red pepper, and garnish with cilantro. The coconut water I used was with pulp and only 80 calories in the entire 2 cup can.
