Wash rice and drain, then transfer to saucepan.
Add coconut milk, 1 cup of hot water and salt.
Stir to combine ingredients then place on high heat
Allow to cook until liquid begins to bubble, then lower to medium heat.
Allow rice to cook for approx. 5 mins, then check to see whether liquid has begun to evaporate.
Once the liquid has evaporated so that you can no longer see it above the rice, add the other cup of hot water, then cover and lower heat to simmer.
Allow rice to cook, after approx. 5-7 mins, check doneness with a fork.
The final result should be fluffy rice and at that point remove from heat and set aside.
Scatter coconut flakes onto a baking tray, then place in a preheated oven at 375.
Allow coconut flakes to become golden.
You will need to keep an eye on the coconut flakes as this will happen quickly and you will need to toss the flakes to get them golden on both sides.
Transfer rice to a serving bowl and then top with toasted coconut flakes.
Serve immediately.
