I made this last week for breakfast and the kids really liked it, and when I made it again this week they still were very enthusiastic. So I guess it’s a keeper!
Coconut Rice
- 1 c. coconut milk (unsweetened)
- 1 c. water
- 1 c. brown rice (I soak it overnight in an acidic medium – did something different this time that I’ll share about later this week)
- 1 thin slice of peeled fresh ginger
- 3/4 t. sea salt
Bring the coconut milk and water to boil, then stir in the remaining ingredients. Cover and cook on a low heat until all the liquid is absorbed. When the rice is finished, you can sprinkle 1/3 c. shredded coconut over it.
This can be a nice side dish or a light breakfast when served with a piece of fruit.

Trader Joes. But I also have made my own: http://oceansofjoy.wordpress.com/2009/12/09/how-to-make-coconut-cream-and-milk/.

I’m definitely making this recipe. I’ve made so many dishes (e.g., chicken pot pie, chicken and rice casserole) with coconut milk lately and we have loved them all.
Thanks!
