Mango with Sticky Rice

Servings

Ingredients

  • 2 cups sticky rice
  • 1 can Coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup palm sugar (or any sugar)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 ripe mangos

Directions

The night before, soak the sticky rice in enough water to cover (it needs to soak for at least an hour but over night is best).

I like to use a bamboo steamer basket for this recipe, line it with cheesecloth and put in the rice.  cover with the lid and place over a pot of water. Bring stove to medium high heat and cook for about 20 minutes or until the rice is translucent.

If you don’t have a steamer basket you can try this microwave method.

Heat a small saucepan with the coconut milk and palm sugar.  If you can’t find palm sugar any sugar will work.  Add a few pinches of salt and heat until all sugar is dissolved.  Pour most of the liquid over the cooked rice, reserving a few spoonfuls for garnish.  Allow to rest about 5 minutes for the rice to absorb the liquid.  Scoop on to a plate and serve with juicy mango.  Enjoy.
