1
Rinse the Brown Rice
Place the brown rice in a fine mesh strainer and rinse under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch.
2
Combine Ingredients
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed brown rice, coconut milk, water, and salt. Stir to mix well.
3
Bring to a Boil
Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil.
4
Simmer
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a lid, and let it simmer for about 45-50 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed all the liquid.
5
Fluff and Add Coconut Flakes
Once cooked, remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 10 minutes. Then, fluff the rice with a fork and stir in the coconut flakes.

6
Serve the Coconut Brown Rice
Transfer the coconut brown rice to a serving dish. If desired, garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.
