Coconut Sticky Rice

• 2 cups glutinous rice well-washed
• 2 cups coconut milk
• 1 cup dark brown sugar
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup grated coconut freshly-

1. In a saucepan, bring the rice and coconut milk to a boil, stir several times and turn off the heat. Let stand for 15 minutes to allow the rice to absorb the milk.
2. Pile rice on aluminum foil in a Chinese-style steamer (or a deep saucepan with a vegetable steamer set into pan), and steam for 20 minutes.
3. Make a fairly thick syrup by cooking the brown sugar, water and salt in a saucepan over medium-low heat for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and add vanilla extract.
4. To serve, place a mound of rice on a plate. Scatter 1 heaping tablespoon grated coconut over the rice, and drizzle syrup over the rice-coconut mixture.
