Most rice cookers come with their own specific measuring cup. With that said, using the measuring cup that comes with your rice cooker, measure and add the rice to a mesh strainer. Rinse with cool water, shaking and stirring the rice a little, until the water runs clear.
Transfer the rice to your rice cooker and add the kosher salt, full-fat coconut milk, and water. Stir well to combine. Close the lid to your rice cooker, press the "white rice" button and allow the rice cooker to do the work.
Transfer the cooked coconut rice to large mixing bowl and add in finely chopped cilantro, lime zest, lime juice and thecoconut oil.
Toss well to combine. Serve immediately.
