Ingredients
Instructions
Rinse the rice in a bowl of cool water then drain. Repeat three times or until the water is no longer cloudy.
In a large pot, heat the oil on medium-high. Add the ginger and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the rinsed rice, 1 cup water, a big pinch of kosher salt, the coconut milk (shaking the can before opening), and the coconut flakes. Bring to a boil then reduce to low and cover with a lid. Simmer for 20 minutes then turn off the heat and let the rice sit with the lid on for 10 minutes. Fluff the finished rice with a fork. Add a squeeze of lime juice if desired and sprinkle with the green onion.
