Steam the Rice: Set up a steamer. Line the steamer basket with cheesecloth or a banana leaf. Spread the drained rice evenly in the lined basket. Bring the water in the steamer pot to a boil, then place the basket over the boiling water. Cover and steam for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the rice is tender and translucent.

Combine Rice and Sauce: Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl. Pour about 1 cup of the warm coconut sauce over the hot rice. Stir gently with a spoon or spatula until the rice has absorbed all the sauce. Cover the bowl and let it sit for 15 to 20 minutes to allow the rice to fully absorb the flavors and become perfectly sticky and creamy.
