• 600 ml Coconut milk
• 1½ cups Water
• 2 Pandan leaf

Method

1. Rinse the rice — Wash until the water runs clear.
2. Warm the coconut — Heat the coconut milk with water, pandan, bruised lemongrass, lime leaves, galangal and salt.
3. Absorb first — Cook the rice in the infused liquid until it is fully absorbed.
4. Steam second — Transfer to a steamer and steam 25 minutes — this two-stage method keeps the grains separate and fragrant.
