Wash and drain the rice several times in cold water until the water is no longer starchy. Put the rice, salt, lemon grass and coconut in a
heavy saucepan, cover with the measured amount of boiling water. Stir once to prevent the grains from sticking to the pan, and simmer uncovered for 10-12 minutes.
Remove from the heat, cover and allow to steam in its own heat for a further 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork or chopsticks before serving.
