Method (preview)

1. 1

   Rinse the rice a few times until the water clears.

2. 2

   Cover with at least 2 inches of water and allow to soak 4 or more hours, or overnight.

3. 3

   When ready to cook, drain the rice and place in a heat-proof bowl with room enough for the rice grains to expand about a third more than its uncooked bulk.

4. 4

   Add a small amount of boiling water, just enough to barely cover the rice grains.

5. 5

   Place the bowl on a steamer rack and steam over medium heat about 30-40 minutes.

6. 6

   If you do not have a steamer, use a large pot in which the bowl fits.

7. 7

   Place a trivet on the bottom along with 2-3 inches of water.

8. 8

   Bring to a boil.

9. 9

   Balance the bowl with the rice on the trivet and add hot water to the rice.

10. 10

    Cover and steam.

11. 11

    Steaming the rice with a small volume of water will leave the top layer of grains intact, retaining a chewy texture which pops in your mouth like nuts.

12. 12

    If you wish the rice to be softer, add more water to the rice.

13. 13

    While the rice is steaming, make the coconut sauce by heating the coconut milk, sugar and salt together in a saucepan.

14. 14

    Stir to dissolve the sugar and salt and blend the sauce until smooth.

15. 15

    Keep warm.

16. 16

    When the rice is cooked and while still hot out of the steamer, add about half of the sauce or enough to thoroughly coat the rice.

17. 17

    Stir and mix well.

18. 18

    The rice should be wet but not swimming in sauce.

19. 19

    Let stand 15-20 minutes to allow the flavorings to be absorbed.

20. 20

    Reserve the remaining sauce for spooning over the rice before serving.

21. 21

    Use 2 1/2 to 3 cups of water to each cup of rice.

22. 22

    Bring to a boil.

23. 23

    Reduce heat to simmer and cook partially covered until the grains are cooked and surrounded by a thick sauce, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and burning.

24. 24

    Add sugar to sweeten to your liking.

25. 25

    Stir well, cover and place on lowest heat setting for another 5-10 minutes.

26. 26

    Make the sauce less sweet but more salty for contrast with the already sweetened rice.

27. 27

    When ready to serve, dish the rice into individual serving bowls and dribble some sauce over each serving.
