Tips & Notes
- Shake the can of coconut milk well before opening. The cream separates and needs mixing back in for an even, rich rice.
- Coconut milk scorches easily. Use a heavy-bottomed pan and keep the heat as low as it goes once covered.
- With 2 tbsp sugar and vanilla, this rice leans sweet. For a savory side, cut the sugar to 1 tsp and leave out the vanilla.
