COCONUT RICE

Preparation Method :

• Place the measured water, coconut milk, salt, and sugar in a heavy pan.
• Wash the jasmine rice in several changes of cold water until it runs clear.
• Add the rice to the pan, cover tightly with a lid, and bring to boil over medium heat.
• Reduce the heat to low and simmer gently, without lifting the lid unnecessarily, for 15 - 20 minutes, until the rice is tender and cooked through.
• Test it by biting a grain; it should be slightly dente (soft but with a bite in the centre).
• Turn off the heat and leave the rice to rest in the pan, still covered with the lid, for further 5 - 10 minutes.
• Gently fluff up the rice grains with a fork before transferring it to a warmed dish, and serve.
