I made this and it was delicious. The only problem was is that the rice wasn’t cooked. The instructions on the rice said 2 cups of water to 1 cup of rice but I made it with One cup of coconut milk to one cup of rice as per the recipe?

Amazing dish! One question though, did you use sweetened shredded coconut in this recipe?

Onyameamah Kabrah says:

That looks like a party I'd like to attend 🤩

Leon Ramkumar says:

Cooking the rice in the coconut milk, fascinating.

Ashley Sharp says:

TIPS:
If your coconut milk was thick like mine and 1 cup wasn't enough, add the whole 15.5 oz can.

If your rice was like mine and was still a little under after steaming for 10 minutes off the burner: add two small splashes of water and cover quickly.

My rice turned out really good after doing these things. Otherwise, it wouldn't have worked for me! Delicious recipe tho!! Thanks so much Yeung!

Cindy says:

Is the coconut milk from a can or the more liquid type in a milk carton?
