Prepare the Steamer - boil water so that as soon as the rice is done soaking it can be steamed.Steam Rice: Once the rice is done soaking, drain into a tea towel. Place the tea towel into the prepared steamer, and steam for 20 minutes. Loosen Rice: Empty rice into a baking sheet to let cool. Reserve 2/3 of the coconut sauce (not including the beans). Use the remaining coconut sauce including the beans to loosen the rice. Drizzle the coconut sauce over the cooled rice and gently separate it with your fingers to ensure the rice is evenly coated with the coconut sauce.
