Side note from Tami: I make
this myself, but have never added sugar as I find the coconut milk sweet enough
for me. It's great alongside chicken.
1-1/2 C white rice
1-1/2 C water
1 t sugar
3/4 t salt
1 C coconut milk, well-stirred
Rinse rice. In a heavy medium saucepan,
combine with water, sugar, salt, and coconut milk. Bring to a boil, then
reduce heat to low and simmer for 18 minutes, covered. Do not peek — if your
pan doesn’t have a glass lid, and you’re not sure if the heat under it is
right, carefully listen to it. Remove from heat and let sit for 6 minutes
without opening it. Then fluff with a fork and serve.
