While the rice is cooking, prepare the sweetened coconut milk sauce. Shake the can of coconut milk well. Pour the entire can of coconut milk into a medium saucepan. Add 1/2 cup of granulated sugar and a pinch of salt to the coconut milk.

Heat the coconut milk mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar is completely dissolved. Do not allow the mixture to boil, as this can cause it to burn. Once the sugar is dissolved, remove from heat.

Measure and reserve 1 cup of the sweetened coconut milk in a separate measuring cup. This reserved portion will be used later for the glaze.

Once the rice is cooked, open the rice cooker and fluff the rice gently with a rice paddle to release some steam.
⏱️ 1 min
- 7
Pour the remaining sweetened coconut milk (the portion not reserved for the glaze) over the cooked sticky rice in the rice cooker pot. Gently fold the coconut milk into the rice using the rice paddle. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the rice mushy. Cover the rice cooker and let the rice absorb the coconut milk for about 15 minutes while you prepare the glaze.

To prepare the glaze, pour the 1 cup of reserved sweetened coconut milk back into the saucepan. In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water and whisk until a smooth slurry forms.
⏱️ 2 min
- 9
Add the cornstarch slurry to the sweetened coconut milk in the saucepan. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens to a glaze consistency. This should take a few minutes. Remove from heat once thickened.
