Brown rice adds fiber and nutrients while long-grain rice is more economical.

coconut milk

🥗Healthier: light coconut milk

💰Cheaper: evaporated milk

Light coconut milk reduces calories and evaporated milk is often cheaper.

Mix coconut milk and water in a rice cooker or medium-sized pot.

Add 1 tablespoon of sugar and salt to the mixture.

Heat the mixture until warm to dissolve the sugar and salt.

Rinse 1 cup of jasmine rice twice in cold water to remove excess starch.

Add the rinsed rice to the warm liquid and stir to prevent clumping.

If using, add 1/2 pandan leaf to the liquid and let it come to a simmer.

Close the lid and let the rice cooker cook the rice or simmer on low heat if using a pot.

Once the rice cooker clicks, let it rest for 10 minutes without opening the lid.

Fluff the rice gently, avoiding scraping the bottom too much.

Garnish with toasted coconut and sesame seeds before serving.
