Why rinse the rice?
This removes a number of the starch. The surplus starch within the rice causes the rice to be slightly stickier and clumpier. I don’t often rinse my rice if I’m cooking common rice in a pan (I like slightly little bit of clumpiness), however the addition of coconut milk on this recipe makes the rice slightly extra sticky. So it’s finest to rinse the rice so it’s not overly sticky.
