In a heavy, 2-quart saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add rice and salt and return to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer until rice is tender, 25-30 minutes. (It’s OK if there is some unabsorbed water.)
Stir in coconut milk, ginger, and sugar to taste. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and boil gently, uncovered, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until mixture thickens, 10-15 minutes for a soupy pudding and 15-18 minutes for thick. Cool slightly before spooning into dessert bowls or martini or wine glasses. Garnish with orange zest. Serve warm.
