How to Make Almond Kowadjik

1. Rinse the rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear.
2. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, water, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
3. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and the liquid is absorbed.
4. While the rice is simmering, toast the slivered almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat until lightly golden brown and fragrant. Set aside to cool.
5. Once the rice is cooked, stir in the coconut milk and vanilla extract. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is heated through and slightly thickened.
6. Remove from heat and let the Kowadjik cool slightly before serving.
7. Garnish with toasted almonds and toasted coconut flakes (optional) and serve warm or chilled. Enjoy!
