A delightful coconut-infused rice dish with a hint of sweetness and aromatic bay leaf.
In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk, water, and salt.
Using a medium saucepan ensures even cooking and prevents sticking.
Add the rice and bay leaf to the saucepan, stirring gently.
Stirring gently helps distribute the ingredients evenly.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to low and cover with a lid.
Covering the saucepan traps steam, cooking the rice evenly.
Cook for 15-20 minutes until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
Check the rice occasionally to ensure it doesn't stick to the bottom.
Remove the bay leaf and fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
Fluffing the rice with a fork prevents clumping and enhances texture.
