5 cups mochi rice (cooked in rice cooker)
Sauce:
1 (16 oz) brown sugar
¾ cup granulated sugar
1 can fozen coconut milk
½ can water
Cook rice (add extra water) as usual in rice cooker.
In a quart size pot, over medium heat, prepare sauce. Mix until consistency is like molasses. When rice is finished cooking, transfer to a 9 x 13 inch pan. Pour sauce (save 1/3 cup for glazing) over rice and mix thoroughly. Cover rice evenly with sauce. Let stand for 10 minutes and rice will absorb sauce.
Bake at 350º for 1 hour. When done, pour remainder of sauce over top, spread evenly and broil for 5 minutes. This will create a glazed top layer. Cool and cut into pieces.
