1 cup water
1 14-ounce coconut milk
11⁄2 cups white rice
1⁄3 cup coconut flakes
1 teaspoon lime juice
1⁄2 teaspoon salt
In a large pot, combine the water, coconut milk, and rice and bring to a simmer. Cover and allow to cook 20 minutes, or until rice is done.
In a separate skillet, toast the coconut flakes over low heat until lightly golden, about 3 minutes. Gently stir constantly to avoid burning.
Combine coconut flakes with cooked rice and stir in lime juice and salt.
