Dissolve sugar into the liquid. Bring the mixture to a simmer then reduce heat to medium-low. Cover the saucepan and simmer until the majority of the liquid has been absorbed by the rice, 15 to 20 minutes. Leaving the saucepan on the burner, turn the heat off and let rice steam until sticky, 5 to 10 minutes more. Garnish with shredded coconut. Tips Check liquid for sweetness before cooking. I dip a spoon in to taste the liquid and make sure it's sweet enough. If you are nuts for coconut like me, add the shredded coconut as a garnish prior to serving.
