Servings: 6
Equipment
- Rice Cooker
Ingredients
- 1 cup sweet rice
- 1.5 cup water
- ¼ cup sugar plus 2 tbsp for coconut milk (optional).
- Pinch of salt one for the sweet rice and one for the coconut topping (optional).
- 1 can black eyed peas
- 1 can full fat coconut milk
Instructions
- Place 1 cup of uncooked sweet rice in a pot.
- Add water to the sweet rice to rinse the rice.
- Discard the water from the rice. Repeat rinsing the rice 2 more times.
- Add 1.5 cups of water to the rice and place it in the rice cooker, and turn on the rice cooker.
- While waiting for the rice to cook...
- Open a can of black eyed peas, and rinse it with water using the colander and set it aside.
- Pour a can of full fat coconut milk in a pot and heat it up until warm to the touch. Set it aside. You can add 2 tbsp sugar to the coconut milk, and a pinch of salt in this step if you'd like a sweeter taste.
- When the rice is done cooking, don't immediately open the lid...instead let it sit on warm with the lid closed for 10 more minutes. This will help all the rice grains to get fully cooked.
- After 10 minutes, then open the lid to give the rice a stir, and add in a pinch of salt.
- Add ¼ cup of sugar. Adjust according to your taste.
- Then add the can of rinsed black eyed peas. Mix well.
- Serve with coconut milk.
