Sweet Coconut Rice

This simple and sweet rice is a perfect side option with a savory dish.  We paired ours with teriyaki chicken from the grill.  Mmmmm.

I N G R E D I E N T S

2 cups white or jasmine rice
1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk
2 cups water
1 teaspoon kosher salt
splash of white vinegar*
2-3 tablespoons sugar
1/4 chopped green onions
Black pepper to taste

I N S T R U C T I O N S

Combine rice, coconut milk, water, salt, vinegar, and sugar in a saucepan and bring to boil.  Turn heat to low and cover for 20 minutes or until most of the liquid is absorbed.  Allow to stand 5 minutes.  Add chopped green onions and salt and pepper to taste.

*Adding vinegar to the water before cooking rice helps keep the grains separated and prevents the rice from becoming overly sticky or mushy.
