"I serve this with grilled fish and homemade mango salsa. Always a winner! I just put together my plain rice technique and some coconut ingredients and it turned out so good that my family approved it for repeats! This recipe is easy to start and let simmer while I cook the rest of the dinner and it is ready when the fish is done."
