Coconut Cilantro Rice

Tonight I made baked tilapia with ginger and cilantro from Mel's Kitchen and paired it with this rice recipe. It was great and the boys kept going back for more. Will make again.

11oz coconut milk
2 t salt
About 2 inches ginger sliced thin then pressed the flat end of knife to release juices
2 c brown jasmine or basmati rice
1/2 c cilantro

Bring coconut milk, 2.5 c water, and ginger to a rolling boil in pot with tight fitting lid.  Pour in rice and stir well. Bring to a boil again and then reduce to low. Cover with paper towel and lid and simmer for 20 minutes. Stir in cilantro and serve.
