Author Notes: This terrific book gives recipes and information for all your favorite grains, as well as ones you've probably never heard of.

This dish is made with unsweetened coconut milk, which can be purchased canned in most well stocked supermarkets as well as Asian grocery stores.

Ingredients: 1 cup long grain or jasmine rice
2 cups unsweetened coconut milk
1/2 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened)
1/2 inch slice peeled fresh ginger
3/4 teaspoons salt
chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
Instructions: Bring the coconut milk to a boil in a medium sized pot. Add the rice, ginger and salt. Stir and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 20 minutes. While waiting, heat the shredded coconut in a skillet, toasting it lightly. Remove from heat and set aside. When the rice has cooked for 20 minutes, fluff it with a fork and throw out the ginger root. Place in a serving dish and sprinkle with toasted coconut and chopped cilantro just before serving.
