butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil reduces saturated fat while maintaining flavor.

coconut milk

🥗Healthier: light coconut milk

💰Cheaper: coconut cream diluted with water

Light coconut milk lowers calories while still providing coconut flavor.

Wash the rice until clean.

Pour the washed rice into a pot.

Add 3/4 cup of coconut milk to the pot.

Add a pinch of sea salt and a little cracked pepper.

Add a small amount of water to the pot, just enough to not make the rice sticky.

Add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter for flavor.

Cover the pot and cook on medium heat for 12-15 minutes, checking to ensure the rice is soft and the water is absorbed.

Once cooked, fluff the rice and serve.
