I suppose there's so many different reviews on this recipe because a majority of people don't know what the proper additions are to coconut rice. If you think you'll get the answer in this review, you are terribly mistaken. I find how you make the coconut rice itself will dictate what should be served with it. If you want to omit the salt and rice I'd suggest eating it with chicken or another meat. If you'd like to try this as a dessert then keep the sugar (maybe even add more to your liking) and top it off with sliced almonds, ripe mangos, kiwis, mandarin oranges and pineapple. I like making almost a casserole with these latter ingredients and serving while luke warm(with a dash more sugar to give it a more dessert-like flavor). But really this recipe is the perfect one to play around with because the outcomes are endless!

I was amazed at how great this turned out! Next time I'll cut back on the salt (maybe to a pinch). I also added a bit more cheese because the 1 cup didn't cover it entirely. It was easy, and affordable for a college student's budget! Definitely keeping this in my recipe box!

I agree with a lot of the other reviews. I omitted the onion and oil and added a tomato, some cumin, cilantro, and garlic powder. Came out great after sitting in the fridge for an hour!
