Rinse the rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear.

In a pot, combine the coconut milk and water.

Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.

Add the rinsed rice and salt to the boiling coconut milk mixture.

Stir well to combine.

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot tightly, and simmer for 20 minutes.

Check the rice for doneness. If the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender, remove from heat.

If there's still liquid, continue simmering for a few more minutes until absorbed.

Let the rice sit, covered, for 5 minutes to steam and finish cooking.

Fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
