Ingredients
- 1 can cream style corn about 2 cups
- 1 can whole sweet corn kernels (including the liquid), about 2 cups
- 1 cup sweet rice, sticky rice, glutinous rice, or Calrose rice
- 2 cans coconut milk about 4 cups
- 3 cups water
- ¾ cup* sugar
Instructions
- Place a large pot over medium heat.
- Add sweet rice and water. Simmer until rice is soft and almost all of the water has been absorbed. Stir occasionally to make sure that the bottom doesn’t burn.
- Add the rest of the ingredients and continue to simmer until corn is soft and done.
- Remove from heat. May be served cold or warm.
Notes
If you want, you can replace the 2 cans of corn with 3-4 ears of fresh corn. Just cut the kernels off the cob with a knife and scrape the cob with a spoon to get the corn “milk”.
*This is really up to you and your tastebuds. You can start with 3/4 cup of sugar and just add more later. Like my grandma says, just taste it and adjust until it tastes right
