Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Coconut Sweet Rice.
Step 1
Begin by assembling all the essential ingredients for your delightful dish.
Step 2
In a saucepan, blend the rice, creamy coconut milk, and water, stirring thoroughly to ensure the sugar dissolves completely into the mixture.
Step 3
Heat the concoction over medium heat until it reaches a gentle simmer.
Step 4
Once you see those little bubbles, lower the heat to medium-low, cover the saucepan, and let it cook undisturbed until most of the liquid is absorbed, which should take about 15 to 20 minutes.
Step 5
After this time, turn off the heat but leave the saucepan on the burner, allowing the rice to steam in the residual warmth for an extra 5 to 10 minutes, resulting in a wonderfully sticky texture.
Step 6
Finally, fluff the rice gently with a fork and sprinkle with shredded coconut for a delightful finishing touch before serving.
Step 7
Enjoy the tropical flavors that transport you to a sun-kissed paradise with every bite.
