Sweet and Savory Coconut Rice

I never will get sick of rice....when I was little, I used to just like white rice / butter / shredded cheese - and now I'm determined to find tons of different ways to eat one of my favorites starches!  This was super good - we ate this tonight with Pineapple-Ginger Flank Steak and Carmalized Green Beans.  We had Parmesan Chicken on Tuesday - and the leftover rice worked great with that meal too!
Serves 8: OBB Cookbook


Ingredients:
2 cups white or Jasmine rice
1 can coconut milk
2 cups water
1 teaspoon Kosher salt
Splash of white vinegar (optional, but it helps with the texture)
2-3 teaspoon white sugar
Handful of chopped green onions, plus chopped green onion tops for garnish
Black pepper to taste
Combine rice, coconut milk, water, salt, vinegar, and sugar in a saucepan and bring to a boil  Turn heat to low and cover for 20 minutes or until most of the liquid is absorbed.  Allow to stand 5 minutes.  Add green onions, black pepper (if desired), and additional salt if necessary.  Serve with any Asian or tropical-inspired food.
