  cup white or basmati rice, uncooked and rinsed
  
• 
  
  enough water to cook your rice to your liking

  cup whole roasted salted peanuts

  cup shredded sweetened coconut

Directions

1. Heat rice, water, rice wine vinegar, sugar, sesame oil, and salt in a medium pot on high until bubbling. Cover and reduce heat to medium until your rice is sticky and tacky, but not over cooked. Keep a close eye on the rice and add more water if you need to. The consistency of the rice makes this dish.
2. While the rice is cooking, toast the coconut and peanuts in a pan together on low- medium heat. Remove the pan from the heat BEFORE the ingredients are done toasting, because they will continue to toast in the pan sitting on the counter.
3. Make a plate of the rice and top with the toasted peanuts and coconut. slice the green onions into pieces. Sprinkle atop the plate.
4. Dress the dish with sriracha and ponzu to taste, and serve.
