1
Rinse the Rice
Place the brown rice in a fine mesh strainer and rinse it under cold running water until the water runs clear. This helps to remove excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming gummy.
2
Combine Ingredients
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed brown rice, coconut milk, water, and salt. Stir to mix all the ingredients well.

3
Bring to a Boil
Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low.
4
Simmer the Rice
Cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid and let it simmer on low heat for about 40-45 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed 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
Garnish and Serve
Spoon the coconut brown rice into serving bowls and garnish with chopped cilantro. Serve warm as a side dish or part of a main meal.
