Preparation
Step 1
Rinse the rice. Thoroughly rinse the rice in a fine mesh strainer until the water runs clear.
Step 2
Cook. Add the rice, coconut milk, water, sea salt and sugar (if using) to a large saucepan and stir to combine. Cook over medium-high heat until the rice reaches a boil. Give the rice a quick stir, turn the heat to low, cover with a lid, and cook undisturbed for 15 minutes. Turn off the heat, and let the rice rest undisturbed for 10 minutes. Uncover and fluff the rice with a fork.
Step 3
Serve. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Chef's notes
Sugar:
Adding extra sugar is completely optional here, but I recommend adding a teaspoon or two if you prefer a slightly sweet coconut rice. Basic white granulated sugar will work, or coconut sugar or honey would be lovely too.
