Sweet Sticky Rice with Mango
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups glutinous (sweet) rice (found in most Asian markets or Amazon)
- 2 cups of water
- 1 1/3 cups well-stirred canned unsweetened coconut milk
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted lightly
- 2 large mangos, peeled, pitted, and cut into thin slices
Sauce
- 1/2 cup coconut milk from the can
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon tapioca starch
Preparation
In a bowl, wash rice well until water runs clear and soak in cold water to cover for at least 2 hours.
Combine the rice and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
Cover and reduce heat to low, then simmer until water is absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes.
While the rice cooks, mix 1 1/3 cups coconut milk, 1/3 cup sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil.
Remove from heat and set aside, then stir the cooked rice into the coconut milk mixture, cover, and allow to cool for 1 hour.
Make a sauce by mixing 1/2 cup coconut milk, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and the tapioca starch in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
Place the sticky rice on a serving dish.
Arrange the mango slices on top of the rice.
Pour the sauce over the mango and rice.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
