Rinse the rice until the water runs clear. This will help remove any excess starch and ensure that the rice cooks evenly.
Heat the coconut milk in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Make sure to stir frequently to prevent the coconut milk from burning.
Once the coconut milk is hot, add the rice, sugar, and salt to the saucepan. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, remove the saucepan from the heat and let it stand for 15 minutes. This will help the rice absorb the remaining liquid.
Fluff the rice with a fork and serve.
