Ingredients: 
3 cups glutinous sweet rice
1-1/2 water
1 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 cup regular Sugar
3 cups Diluted Coconut Milk
3/4 tsp. Salt
1-2 cups Lightly Toasted Sweetened coconut Flakes Topping

Cooking Procedure: 

1. In a rice cooker, combine the glutinous rice, water, brown sugar, regular sugar, coconut milk and salt.

2. Turn on cooker and stir mixture occasionally until liquid is absorbed and rice is soft. Add more water if needed. If rice cooker turns off automatically and glutinous rice is not quite cooked yet, leave the warm button on until rice is fully cooked.

3. Continue to stir occasionally so that rice texture will be uniform. You may also cook this mixture in a deep non-stick pot medium low heat, stirring frequently until fully cooked.

4. Transfer cooked mixture into a glass pan. Flatten and smooth top with the back of a spoon. Let cool until firm then slice in serving pieces.

5. Top with toasted coconut flakes just before serving.
