1 1/2 cups well-stirred canned unsweetened coconut milk (about 12 ounces)
4 tablespoons palm sugar or firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt

Soak and steam black rice and sticky rice together, following procedures in recipe for Sticky Rice .
While rice is steaming, in a small saucepan heat coconut milk, sugar, and salt over low heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved. Keep sauce warm, covered.
Transfer steamed rice to a bowl and immediately pour warm sauce over it, stirring gently. Let rice mixture stand covered, at room temperature at least 30 minutes and up to 3 hours for rice to absorb sauce and flavors to blend. Do not chill mixture or it will dry out and harden.
