Ingredients  – Serves 4 to 6:

This uses as whole can of coconut milk

  • 1 can coconut milk (400ml)
  • 400 ml water
  • Salt – 1 tablespoon
  • Sugar – 3 tablespoon
  • Pandan Leaf (if you find, use lemon grass or ginger)
  • Rice – 450g Jasmine Rice (Thai fragrant rice)

Method:

  1. Save half the coconut milk, and pour the remaining milk into a measuring jug.  Dilute the coconut milk with water so you have 600ml total.
  2. Put the diluted milk into a pan with the sugar, salt and pandan leaf, stir to dissolve the sugar then bring to the boil.  If you don’t dissolve the sugar, it will burn on the bottom.
  3. While coming to boil, rinse the rice in cold water in a sieve.
  4. Add the rice to the boiling milk, cover with lid and reduce temperature to low.
  5. After 5 minutes add the set aside coconut milk.
  6. Stir occasionally, you don’t want it to stick to the bottom – it will take about 15 minutes to cook and the rice will be soft and dry.  Remove from heat and allow to rest.
