Instructions for Coconut Rice:

Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Rinsing the rice not only prevents it from becoming overly sticky but also aids in removing any excess starch.

Once the rice is cooked, remove the saucepan from heat and let it remain, covered, for an additional 5-10 minutes. Next, use a fork to separate the grains in the rice.

6. Serve:

Place the rice with coconut on a platter for serving. Shredded coconut can be used as a garnish to give it more taste and texture.
