Asian Coconut Rice

Achieving perfection, this coconut rice recipe has been meticulously crafted. In my quest to replicate the coconut rice from my favorite restaurant, which sadly closed down, I experimented with various methods. For an extra touch, consider garnishing it with toasted coconut and chopped cilantro if desired.
