Recipe Notes
- You can use other kinds of rice for this recipe. Rice like jasmine or American long-grain rice and long grain brown rice. Adjust the water if necessary, it might also change the cooking time.
- I suggest pure coconut oil as it does not have a strong coconut flavor; you can also swap it with butter.
- You can use chicken or vegetable stock for extra flavor; water works fine too.
