Cooking Directions

Steam the Rice
Drain the soaked rice and place it in a steamer lined with cheesecloth. Steam over boiling water for about 30-40 minutes until the rice is translucent and sticky.

Combine Rice and Sauce
Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl. Pour half of the coconut sauce over the rice and gently mix to combine. Let it sit for about 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
