I love cocnut rice. Its one of the reasons I have that makes me go to the Thai place round the corner from my flat. A lot of Thai food I can take or leave but I like the rice. Anyway, I've spent a while trying to get it right and this is what I've come up with so far:

400ml white rice (I used basmati as its my favourite)
1 can coconut milk
1 tspn sugar
1/2 tspn salt
300ml water

Put all the ingredients in the pan, bring up to the boil and then turn down and simmer until most of the moisture is gone. Then turn the heat down as low as it'll go and cover with a heavy lid for about 10m minutes.

I stirred this a lot while it was cooking to stop it from sticking during the first stage. Also I would wash your rice thoroughly beforehand or all the starch will just turn it into a thick gunk.

As an interesting addition to this I added a handfull of finely chopped fresh coriander leaves at the end and stirred them in. The rice became really fragrant and tasty.

Enjoy
