Does coconut rice taste like coconut?

Less than you'd think! While there is a light coconut flavor, the acidity of the lime cuts through some of the fatty coconut. Meanwhile, the nuttiness of the rice offsets some of the sweeter coconut notes.

How do I get rid of extra liquid in rice?

If rice is ready, but there's still liquid in the pot, cook uncovered on low heat for 1-2 minutes so the liquid can escape. Stir once or twice to prevent burning. If there's still too much liquid, you can strain the rice in a colander like pasta.

Instructions

1. Prepare ingredients: boil coconut milk, water, and salt in a saucepan. Meanwhile, rinse rice until water is nearly clear. Usually, I need rinse for 1-2 minutes under running water, or soak 2-3 times in a bowl of water.

2. Cook rice: once water boils, add rice, stir once, then reduce heat to a simmer, and cover for 12-15 minutes, or until liquid has absorbed. If rice tastes done but still has liquid, cook uncovered for 1-2 minutes so liquid can evaporate.

4. Add flavor: add zest and juice of 1/2 of a lime. Fluff with a fork and serve, garnishing with sesame seeds and chopped cilantro if desired.
