Cilantro-Coconut Jasmine Rice
 
 
Inspired by a tip from my friend Amy, who likes to use coconut milk when making jasmine rice. The result is a sticky, slightly sweet rice with a coconut aroma. This rice can be made on the stove or in a rice cooker. For a variation, add one or more of the following: chopped jalapeƱos, cilantro, diced mango, thai basil, toasted coconut, or whatever your heart desires.
