Mango And Sticky Rice

Total Time: 8 hrs 30 mins Preparation Time: 8 hrs Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 6
• 1 1/2 cups sticky rice (can be found in asian markets, but any sweet glutinous rice such as thai jasmine or sushi rice can b)
• water
• 1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Recipe

• 1 rinse rice several times until the water runs clear. soak in water above the level of the rice 6-8 hours or overnight. steam rice until soft (or you can boil it in lots of water until it's translucent and soft). it will be sticky - it's supposed to be.
• 2 in the meantime, pour coconut milk into a saucepan and add salt and sugar. heat just to a slow simmer - do not boil, as it will curdle. remove from heat and reserve 1/3 cup to use as a sauce. peel and slice mango.
• 3 when rice is done, pour remaining sauce over the rice and allow to sit until all sauce is soaked into rice.
• 4 to serve, scoop out a mound of sticky rice and serve with sliced mangoes on the top or the side. use reserved sweetened coconut milk as a sauce if desired. can also garnish with sesame seeds if desired. best (in my opinion) eaten either room temperature or warm.
