Notes
- Use lite (low-fat) coconut milk for this recipe. Full-fat coconut milk can cause some instant pots to show a "burn" notification
- If you rinse your rice during prep, it will absorb some of the water, so you only need to use a 1/4 cup of water for cooking
- Be sure to mix up the coconut rice when it's done cooking, to blend the liquids into the rice
- Sugar is optional here, but does add flavor
