"I tried so many different ways to duplicate my favorite restaurant's coconut rice after they went out of business. This one is perfect! Garnish with toasted coconut and chopped cilantro if you like."

I didn't like this recipe. I thought it was too sweet and overpowered the taste of everything else. Also, the rice was undercooked and sticky. I tried adding a little more water to give it time to finish cooking, but it really didn't help. I will not make again.

I was curious about this recipe and decided to try it one night with some pineapple and apricot chicken. My family loved it! This is the only rice they want to eat now. We have a lot of stir fry with vegetables and chicken, and if I don't make this rice, I get in trouble. The only thing I will say is that I have never had to cook this rice for 18-20 minutes. I start checking mine at 10 minutes, and it almost burns at 12 minutes. Great alternative to plain white rice!

I really didn't like this recipe. There was not enough moisture and the rice wouldn't cook.
