Preparation

Rinse the rice until the water runs clear.
Heat the oil in a saucepan, cook the sliced onion for 3 minutes until translucent.
Add the rice and stir for 1-2 minutes to coat it well in oil: this step lightly pearls the grains and helps them absorb the coconut milk without falling apart.
Pour in the coconut milk and an equal amount of water, add the salt, bring to a boil.
Cover and cook over very low heat for 18-20 minutes without lifting the lid, until all the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.
Let rest for 5 minutes covered, fluff with a fork before serving alongside a saucy dish.
