To start, place a medium sized sauce pan on the stove and add the washed rice, water, coconut milk, and salt. Turn the stove on to high heat.
Now allow the pot to come to a boil. Once boiling, stir and then reduce heat to low and cover. Cook for 15 minutes and then remove the pot from the heat.
Let the pot sit covered for 10 minutes before uncovering and adding the chopped cilantro. Fluff the rice with a fork while mixing in the cilantro. Serve.
