Chef's tip
Season to taste - salt substitutes can taste bitter in larger amounts, so start with less.
1 tbsp fresh lime juice
½ cup fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
1 tsp lime zest
1–2 tbsp toasted unsweetened coconut flakes (optional)

Instructions

1
Rinse the brown rice in a fine-mesh strainer under cold running water until the water runs mostly clear, about 30 seconds. Shake off the excess water.
2
Combine the rinsed rice, coconut milk, water, grated ginger, turmeric, and salt in a medium saucepan. Stir to distribute the spices evenly, then bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
