Thai Coconut Mango Sticky Rice
- Sweet Rice
- 2 cups water
- Rice Seasoning
- 2/3 cup unsweetened coconut milk
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- generous pinch of salt
- Coconut Sauce
- 1/2 cup coconut cream (scraped from the can of the coconut milk; if you don't have enough substitute with more coconut milk)
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 ripe mango, peeled and small diced
- 4 Tbsp coconut, toasted
- 1) Follow the instructions on the rice bag and cook the rice appropriately. A rice cooker is best but a small pot will do.
- 2) Toast the coconut at 300 degrees for 3 minutes or until it is a light golden brown.
- 3) When the rice is nearly done, combine the coconut milk, sugar and salt in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a simmer over low heat and stir until the sugar dissolves. Remove from the heat.
- 4) Combine the coconut cream and brown sugar in a seperate sauce pan and bring to a simmer over low heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves, then set aside.
- 5) When the rice is done, let it rest for about ten minutes. Then pour the rice seasoning over the rice, and gently combine with a rice paddle or a rubber spatula.
- To serve:
- Fill a small ramekin with the rice and gently push it down with a rice paddle (or spatula). Invert it onto a plate, spoon some of the coconut sauce over the rice and then sprinkle 1 T of the toasted coconut on top. Spoon some of the diced mango around the plate. Repeat with the remaining three plates.
- For optimal flavor and texture, serve immediately or within an hour. After an hour the rice starts to become a little gummy.
