Recipe Tips

To make this recipe vegan, use vegetable broth instead of water. You can also use brown rice instead of white rice for a healthier option. To make the rice creamier, you can add a tablespoon of butter or olive oil. Make sure to use unsweetened coconut milk, as the sweetened kind will make the rice too sweet. You can also add some toasted coconut flakes on top for some extra texture. Enjoy!
