Sticky Rice With Mangoes
- 1 12 cups long-grain sticky rice, soaked in water to cover for at least 3 hours
- 2 cups unsweetened coconut milk
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 4 ripe sweet mangoes
- Drain the soaked sticky rice and transfer it to a steamer basket.
- Place the steamer basket over several inches of water in a saucepan or the base of a steamer.
- Bring the water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
- cover and cook, adjusting the heat to maintain a steady flow of steam, until the rice swells and glistens and is sticky enough to pinch into pleasing chewy lumps, 30-45 minutes.
- Replenish the steamer base with boiling water as needed to maintain the flow of steam.
- While the rice is steaming, combine the coconut milk, sugar, and salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
- Cook and stir gently for 3 to 4 minutes, until the sugar and salt dissolves into a smooth sauce.
- Remove from heat and set aside.
- When the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl; you will have about 4 cups cooked sticky rice.
- Pour the sweetened coconut milk over the rice and stir gently to mix it evenly into the hot rice.
- Cover, and set aside for at least 30 minutes and as long as 3 hours, to let the rice absorb the sauce.
- Meanwhile, peal the mangoes and cut the flesh off the long flat pits.
- Cut it into generous chunks and set aside.
- To serve, place a fist-sized portion of coconut rice and an equal portion of the mango chunks on each of 6 salad or dessert plates.
- Serve at room temperature with a fork and spoon.
