Step 1

First we need to rinse the rice. I do this directly in the rice cooker pot. Simply cover the rice with cold water, give it a really good swirl, let the rice settle at the bottom of the pan again for 1-2 seconds, then pour off the excess water.

Step 2

Repeat this rinsing 3-4 times, until the water is almost clear. On the last rinse, try to pour off as much of the water as possible.

Step 3

Pour over the coconut milk, water, sugar, and salt.

Step 4

Stir once (don’t stir again after this).

Step 5

Turn on the rice cooker and let it run the rice cooking cycle for white rice (this can be different times for different models).

Step 6

Once cooked, serve as is, or you can top with shredded toasted coconut, chopped coriander and lime zest
