Thai Coconut Rice

Coconut is one of those fruits that people either love or hate, there is never an in between. I fall into the love category. One of my favorite dishes is coconut rice but it’s hard to find at restaurants, and half the time it isn’t up to my standards. I’ve had a hankering for a bowl for some time now and decided to make my own batch using this recipe. I’ve never cooked rice in a pan before and was skeptical that the water and coconut milk would absorb into the rice, leaving it uncooked. I was completely wrong; the rice fluffed up and absorbed every last bit making it the ultimate creamy, flavorful and semi- sweet dish.
