Shake the can of coconut milk well before opening. Combine the rinsed rice, coconut milk, water, sugar, and salt in a medium saucepan. Stir briefly to distribute the salt and sugar, then bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring once or twice to prevent the coconut milk from scorching on the bottom.
