Rinse the rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well.
๐ก ์ ๋ฌธ๊ฐ ํ: Rinsing removes excess starch, leading to fluffier rice. - 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, coconut milk, water, sugar, and salt. Stir to combine.
๐ก ์ ๋ฌธ๊ฐ ํ: Ensure all ingredients are well mixed before cooking. - 3
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then immediately reduce the heat to low. Cover the saucepan tightly.

Simmer gently for about 20-25 minutes, or until all the liquid has been absorbed and the rice is tender. Avoid lifting the lid during this time.

Once cooked, remove the saucepan from the heat and let it rest, covered, for another 5-10 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
๐ก ์ ๋ฌธ๊ฐ ํ: Letting the rice rest allows the steam to distribute evenly, resulting in perfectly cooked grains.
