LIGHT COCONUT RICE
I had coconut rice at The Rum Jungle in Las Vegas a few years ago and I've been trying to duplicate it ever since. I still haven't gotten it quite like theirs, but I've made it enough times to figure out what works best. Most recipes use coconut milk, but I felt like it made the rice too sticky and heavy, so I use coconut water. You can usually find this with other exotic fruit juices such as guava and mango and it comes in a can with a pop top like soda. It also usually contains pulp (or "jelly"); this adds a nice flavor.

COCONUT RICE
The rice in this dish is cooked in a mixture of both coconut milk and water which gives it that slightly sweet and nutty flavor. Coconut milk is also jam-packed with nutrients and can help to lower cholesterol.

EASY, LIGHT COCONUT RICE
This recipe is so fragrant and creamy, nobody can guess that it uses chicken stock to reduce fat/calories without reducing flavor. It is mild enough to be paired with any dish yet tasty enough to be eaten on its own. You could use jasmine rice instead if you prefer.
