Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 4 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 cups soft or brown Jasmine Rice, rinsed
- 3/4 cup coconut milk*
- 2 1/2 cups water (adjust as needed)

Directions:
Sauté garlic and ginger in oil briefly. Add rice and stir well. Add coconut milk, water and salt.
Bring to a boil, stir quickly, reduce heat, and simmer covered for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit covered for 5 minutes or more.
