Step 1
Rinse rice in cold water until water runs clear, then drain well.
Step 2
Pour coconut milk and 1 cup water into a pot, add rinsed rice, sugar, and salt.
Step 3
Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to low and cover tightly.
Step 4
Simmer covered for 12 minutes without peeking—rice will absorb all liquid.
Step 5
Remove from heat and let sit covered for 2 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
