In a large pot over medium heat, combine rice, coconut milk, water, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, and let simmer, covered, 18 to 20 minutes or until rice is tender.

Remove from heat and let sit 10 minutes, then fluff with a fork. Serve topped with sesame seeds, if desired.&nbsp;

I was surprised at so many commenting that this was salty, then I started to wonder how many commenters were using table salt in place of kosher salt. You simply can not do this as table salt has more sodium per volume measure than kosher, and therefore will come out saltier. 

If using iodized table salt instead of kosher salt in this recipe, then use 1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon NOT 2 teaspoons.

I found this rice to be so delicious! I used lite coconut milk as that’s all I had, but next time I’ll make sure to get full fat so I can bask in all it’s creaminess.

Simple, easy, delicious. Not too salty at all, the other reviewers must have used a tablespoon!

Easy recipe and so delicious - I cut the ingredients in half and it worked perfectly. Looking forward to slicing some mango and enjoying the two together.

I have to say I agree with the myriad "too salty" comments; I made this for the first time last night and cut the salt down to 1teaspoon and if I make it again I'd cut it down to a quarter or maybe a half a teaspoon, max. I added more sugar to see if I could counter the saltiness but it didn't work. Otherwise it's a really easy recipe for coconut rice.

I followed the advice from @greenbasketball and used 1/2 tsp of table salt. It came out great. Kid and hubby approved.

Waaaay too salty, I had to throw it all out and I followed the recipe closely.

I added some honey to this recipe for a little more sweetness and am very happy I came across this! I served mine with roasted tandoori chicken and veggies. Thank you!

We made this exactly as written and we absolutely loved it!

Ditto to the other reviews. Good but so salty!
