    HOW TO MAKE COCONUT FRIED RICE

    Cook the rice according to the instructions in the package, about 8-10 minutes.

    While rice is cooking, whisk soy sauce, ginger powder, and black pepper in a small bowl; set aside.

    In a large skillet or wok, heat both oils over medium heat.

    Add shrimp and cook, stirring now and then, for about 3-4 minutes or just until turning pink.

    Season with salt and pepper to taste and place on a plate or in a bowl using a slotted spoon.

    Add the onion and bell pepper to the skillet, and cook over medium-low to medium heat, stirring often, until veggies have softened, about 3 minutes.

    Stir in the coconut flakes and then the cubes of mango and cook, stirring often, for about 2 minutes.

    Stir in the reserved soy sauce mixture and let heat for about 1 minute.

    Then add the rice and cook, stirring often, for about 2 minutes or until heated through.

    Stir in the cooked shrimp and adjust the salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the parsley. Serve the coconut fried rice hot.

      Good dish! And thanks to the intro to the rice -- I normally just buy big bags of the stuff, and didn't even know this product existed. Thanks!

      I always have a couple of boxes of Success in my pantry…I like their brown rice as well. What is nice is that it doesn't take near as long to cook as regular brown rice. Your dish sounds very tropical, perfect for summer.

      My favorite meal to serve with brown rice is pork carnitas burritos. I like adding roasted peppers, onions and corn along with a spicy salsa and spinach.

      I usually just make pretty simple Jasmine rice, but in the brasileiro fashion my mom taught me growing up: toasting the rice with a little onions and garlic before adding the water. Awesome giveaway!
