Simple Vegan Coconut Rice
This Simple Vegan Coconut Rice is decadent, buttery and the perfect addition to any meal. You won't want to eat rice any other way after you try this.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic diced
- 3 green onions diced, whites & greens separated
- 1 cup basmati or jasmine rice dry
- 1 cup coconut milk I used whole fat, but you can use low fat
- 1 cup water
- 1 tbsp low sodium soy sauce or tamari
- 1/2 lime juiced
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
- Add garlic, whites of the green onions and the rice to the pan. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until the rice smells toasted. Make sure to continuously stir so the garlic doesn't burn.
- Add the coconut milk, water, soy sauce & lime juice to the rice. Stir and bring to a boil. Once boiling, cover the pan and lower heat. Simmer until all of the liquid is absorbed - approximately 15 minutes.
- Fluff the rice with a fork and add salt to taste. Serve with remaining green onions.
