In a medium pot with a right fitting lid, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat. Once it's melted and hot, add the garlic and rice and cook, stirring, for a minute or two, to lightly toast the rice.

Add the coconut milk and water to the pot, along with the ginger and sugar. Once it comes to a boil, place the lid on and lower the heat down to low.

Allow to cook, covered and undisturbed for 12-15 minutes. Once it's done, fluff the rice with a fork, season to taste with salt and pepper and serve immediately. Refrigerate any leftovers.
