Creator Notes

This rice is named for my chums Carrie and Tom who possess graciously hosted me in their home in Puamana in West Maui. This coconut rice is scrumptious and never onerous to make, it factual takes loads of cutting. I enlist folks to support me slit and yelp my meals processor or mini-prep to make quick work of finely mincing the garlic and ginger. Invent this rice on the stovetop, it does not work in a rice cooker. You might perhaps well presumably yelp sweetened or natural shredded coconut, but sweetened coconut flakes create a nice sweet-sour incompatibility with the lime juice. —Kim Pawell

    coconut milk (not lite!)


  • 1/2 cup

    water


  • 2 cups

    Jasmine rice, rinsed till water runs definite and drained

Directions

Set the mask encourage on and enable to rest off the warmth whereas you enact cutting the the rest of the goodies.
