thaiCoconut-330x220

Coat the bottom and sides of a medium sized pot (with a lid), with the canola oil and add all of the remaining ingredients. Bring to a gentle boil over medium high heat stirring frequently, cover and reduce heat to low. Let rice cook for about 20 minutes,or until most of the liquid has been absorbed (check this by moving the rice aside with a fork and seeing if there is any liquid left on the bottom).

When the liquid has been absorbed turn the heat off and let the pot sit on the stove covered for another 7-10 minutes (rice will stay warm this way for up to an hour). To serve, remove lid and fluff rice with a fork.
