Coconut Rice

My recent tropical travels have inspired a few new recipes. This is a great one for coconut rice. The coconut flavor is very subtle. I got this from allrecipes. Also I used lite coconut milk to cut down on fat.

Ingredients

• 1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk
• 1 1/4 cups water
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 1/2 cups uncooked jasmine rice

Directions

1. In a saucepan, combine coconut milk, water, sugar, and salt. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Stir in rice. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 18 to 20 minutes, until rice is tender.
