Okay I used COCONUT MILK instead if of the can because I thought it was the same thing. It was so bland! I think the can would be much better.

I made this Asain Rice but instead of coconut milk, I used cream of coconut "Coco Lopez" and I didn't add any sugar because I really didn't think it needed it. I also used sea salt instead of regular salt as someone suggested. It came out GREAT. I will be making this more often.....LOVED IT..........

This was a completely FUN side dish! I served it with Asian Glazed Chicken that was infused with lots of ginger. I prepared it in our rice cooker and it came out perfect. I used enough liquids (water and coconut milk together), as I would use if I only used water to cook the rice. It came out so good and smelled fantastic. My husband loved it and usually only likes sweet coconut candies and desserts. This was perfect (not sweet) and I didn't have to babysit it while it cooked in the rice cooker. Also, the coconut milk had flakes of coconut in it which really made for an authentic coconut rice. Thank you so much Silvrezs!

So good, but even better if you use a can of coconut cream instead of coconut milk! (Can be found at your local Trader Joe's). Add a little bit of sea salt to offset the sweetness of the coconut and you can pretty much just eat the rice as a meal in itself.

Delish & super easy. Add the Honey-Roasted slice almonds during the last 5 minutes to kick it up a notch.

Nice subtle flavor. I made this in a rice cooker using roughly the same proportions of water and coconut milk as in the recipe. In the grips of burnt rice paranoia, I stirred halfway through. No need.

I absolutely love this simply recipe and my kids actually request this rice. We like to serve it with grilled teriyaki salmon or any grilled fish. If there are any leftovers you can add sugar and milk and cook over low heat for maybe 15 minutes or until slightly thick (rice will absorb milk), keeping in mind that it will thicken as it cools, and you have coconut rice pudding for dessert.

Delicious! This is a new family favorite for rice. I served it with Chef John's Caramel Chicken. The two served together...heaven on a plate! Although we like coconut, I was wondering if it would taste too stongly of coconut, but it doesn't. It has a wonderfully mild, delicious flavor.
