Good, basic recipe for flavorful coconut rice that is not too sweet. I cut the recipe in half to serve 2 and it worked out nicely but still made a lot of rice. Enjoyed the leftover rice the following day with a little fish sauce sprinkled on top.
I made this tonight. I did end up adding a little water and leaving it on the stove for another five minutes or so. At the end I stirred in a generous quantity of chopped fresh cilantro, then squeezed some lime juice over it. It was delicious!
