The recipe is originally from Teigen’s first cookbook, Cravings and is pretty simple to make. Besides the coconut ingredients, you’ll also need rinsed and drained jasmine rice, water, sugar, and kosher salt.

Once you have all the ingredients, begin by toasting the coconut in a pan until it’s light brown and then move it to a plate to cool.

Next, in a pot, mix together the rice, coconut milk, water, sugar, and salt. Let it come to a boil and stir occasionally. From there, turn the heat down, cover the pan, and let the rice simmer until all the liquid is gone. Take the post off the heat, fluff the rice with a fork, and then let it sit for another 5 minutes. Then you just need to mix in the toasted coconut and you have some delicious tropical-tasting rice!

If you’re looking to make this for dinner tonight, you might want to check how much rice you have  as it’s been one of the more difficult things to find at grocery stores during the pandemic. But if you have plenty of rice and can pick up some shredded coconut and coconut milk, you’ll have a delicious side dish (or who are we kidding – complete dinner) in no time!
