Measure 400 grams (2 cups) of rice.

Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear, using a strainer and a large bowl to save the rinse water.

Place the strainer with the rice over a bowl to strain the rest of the liquid.

Wash and chop the garlic scape into 2 small pieces, then gently crush them with a pestle.

Heat a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the coconut oil and then the garlic scape; sauté for 2-3 minutes or until fragrant.

Pour in the coconut milk and water, stirring well to combine. Once the liquid starts to steam, add in the rice.

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan with a lid.

Let the rice simmer for about 18-20 minutes until all the water has been absorbed.

Remove the garlic scape and then remove the saucepan from the heat, allowing the rice to sit, covered, for about 5-8 minutes.

Fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
