Thai Mango Sticky Rice

 

Ingredients: (serves 2)

1/3 cup glutinous rice

1 mango (cut the cheek and sliced)

Rice Soak:

2 1/2 tbsp. coconut milk

1/3 tbsp. granulated sugar

Dash of salt

Salted Coconut Sauce:

1/3 cup coconut milk

1 1/3 tbsp. sugar

1/3 tsp. salt

2/3 tbsp. rice flour

Methods:

1. Soak glutinous rice overnight.
2. To steam the glutinous rice, fill a steamer with water and bring to a simmer.  Drain glutinous rice and spread them over a plate.  Cover the steamer and steam for 20 minutes.
3. In a separate bowl, make the rice soak.  Whisk the coconut milk, sugar and salt.  Set aside.
4. Once the glutinous rice is cooked, place it immediately into the rice soak mixture (while the rice is still hot), and stir until well combined.  Cover and rest for at least 45 minutes.
5. For the salted coconut sauce, combine coconut milk, sugar and salt in a saucepan.  Place rice flour in a small bowl and add a little coconut milk mixture and stir to avoid lumps.  Then add it into the coconut milk mixture.  Cook over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until thickened slightly.  Remove into a small bowl.
6. To serve, place a mound of sticky rice on 2 serving plates.  Top with mango slices and drizzle with the salted coconut sauce.
7. Serve!
