Number Of Ingredients 17

1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut*
1 3/4 cups water
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup jasmine or basmati rice
1 cup (packed) coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
3/4 cup unsweetened light coconut milk**
4 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
2 large garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
16 ounces extra-firm tofu, drained, patted dry, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
