Hawaiian Coconut Rice

Our September Aloha Flavor of the Month is coconut, and we'll be bringing you four different coconut recipes in honor of that.

We love coconut for its nutty flavor, and we know the rest of the world does, too. In fact, World Coconut Day is on September 2nd! So, to celebrate this versatile flavor, we're sharing our recipe for Hawaiian Coconut Rice.

Perfect as a side or mixed with chicken (check out our Chicken Luau) for a main dish, this jasmine rice recipe has the sweet flavor of coconut because we cook it in Coconut Milk from Noh Foods.
