Recipe Tips
- Some varieties of rice may need more liquid to cook correctly. Be sure to check the packet for a ratio of how much liquid to rice there should be and adjust accordingly.
- If you do not need the rice straight away, then leave the lid on as it will keep warm for about an hour.
- You can add extra flavorings such as grated ginger, nutmeg, or even cinnamon. These additions are great for a slightly different tasting coconut rice.
- If you absolutely love the taste of coconut, then be sure to add two to three tablespoons of shredded coconut for the ultimate coconut flavor.
- You can use coconut milk instead of coconut cream. This swap will result in a less creamy rice.
