Notes
Soaking rice helps reduce the cooking time.
Keep stirring while cooking to prevent the rice from sticking to the base of the pan.
Cook until ¾ of the milk is absorbed or you'll end up with a gloppy pudding. Do not worry if pudding looks like a thick soup, it thickens as it cools.
If your pudding is too thick for your liking, stir in a little more milk just before serving to loosen up.
Cooking time may vary depending on the type of rice and the burner you use.
If the coconut milk is almost absorbed but the rice is not yet well cooked, then add more milk and continue cooking until the rice is completely cooked and milk is absorbed.
