Steps

1 Done	Preparing the Rice: Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a large saucepan, combine the rice with 2 cups of water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and simmer the rice for about 15-20 minutes, until it absorbs all the water and becomes tender.
2 Done	Making the Filling for the Cakes: In a small saucepan, combine the sugar with the coconut milk and heat over medium-low heat until the sugar is completely dissolved. Set aside to cool.
3 Done	Making the Dough for the Cakes: Transfer the cooked rice to a bowl and mash it with a fork until smooth. If using rice flour, add it to the rice puree and mix well. Add the coconut oil to the rice puree and mix until well combined.
4 Done	Shaping the Cakes: Take a small portion of the dough and shape it into a cake (either rectangle or round, according to your preference). Place the cakes on a lightly greased baking sheet or parchment paper.
5 Done	Coating and Baking: Use your fingertips to lightly press each cake to flatten it. With a pastry brush or spoon, moisten each cake with a little water, then sprinkle sugar on top.
6 Done	Baking: Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit). Bake the cakes for about 20-25 minutes, until they are cooked through and golden brown.
7 Done	Serving: Allow the mochi rice cakes to cool for about 10-15 minutes before serving. Serve them with a cup of hot tea or coffee for a better taste.
