It’s one of those recipes I just know by heart and always have the ingredients for in my pantry (if you love tropical rice, another delicious standby is our Lime-Cilantro Pineapple Rice!) I originally posted this recipe over 10 years ago when my 12-year-old looked like this: and my 14-year-old had little feet like this: Combine rice, water,

coconut milk,

salt, sugar,

and vinegar, in a saucepan and bring to a boil Turn heat to low and cover for 20 minutes or until most of the liquid is absorbed. Allow to stand 5 minutes. Add green onions, black pepper (if desired), and additional salt if necessary.

Serve with any Asian or tropical-inspired food, like…

Teriyaki Chicken or Beef Bacon-Wrapped Teriyaki Chicken Skewers Sweet and Savory Flank Steak Asian BBQ Chicken Chili-Lime Mango Chicken Skewers Spicy Honey Chicken Dr. Pepper Pork Tenderloin Or just check out our Asian, Latin, Tropical, and Grilled sections and see if anything grabs you (metaphorically, not literally…if something from our site literally grabs you, then please alert a medical professional.)
