Add in two parts of water (2 cups) for the rice and stir.

Wait for around a minute or two until the water comes to a boil.

Check the seasoning and add more salt if needed.

Cook the rice for around 4 to 5 minutes or until the water is evaporated.

Add in zucchini and coconut cream, stir, then cover and reduce heat to low.

Cook or steam the rice for around 5 minutes until fully cooked.

Fluff the rice with a fork and check the zucchini for tenderness.
