Ingredients

  • 1 cup of glutinous or sweet rice
  • 1 cup of cold water
  • 1 can of coconut milk
  • 3/4 cup of water
  • 1/4 cup coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon of raw shredded coconut
  • two mangoes

Instructions

Step 1

Soak the Sticky Rice
Put 1 cup of glutinous, or sweet rice in a heavy bottomed saucepan. You can find glutinous in the Asian markets. Add 1 cup of cold water, and let soak for 30 minutes to soften.

Step 2

Mix the Sweet Coconut Sauce
Meanwhile, Add 1 can of coconut milk in a bowl, whisk that together with 1/2 cup of sugar, 1/2 tsp of salt, and 1/2 cup of the coconut milk. Just whisk until the sugar dissolves. Set aside.

Step 3

Cook the Sticky Rice
Add 3/4 cup of water, 1/4 cup coconut milk and 1 tablespoon of raw shredded coconut in the sauce pan with glutinous. Stir well. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, turn down the heat to low and simmer covered for 15 minutes.

Step 4

Prepare the Mango
Meanwhile, we are going to prepare mango. The small mange is called Manilla. The regular mango works fine though. Slice the meat off that big flat pit and dice it up.

Step 5

Sweeten the Sticky Rice
After simmering for 15 minutes, the rice become soft and sticky. Take a fork and stir in the coconut sauce. I like to do it in two additions. So pour half and stir it in. we're going to do this to the hot rice so it really soaks in. We're going to pour in the other half and stir it in. A lot of these recipes call for a separate coconut, but I think it's much simpler to put it in now.

Now the rice is soupy. Hoever, when it sits, it will tighten up perfectly and be this amazing creamy, just beautiful silky texture. So let that sit covered 15 minutes. In the meantime, I'm going to toast some shredded coconut (in a dry pan) until it's a light nutty brown.
Serve the Mango Sticky Rice
Then we are ready to serve. You can serve warm, room temp, or cold - it's delicious any way. We're going to scoop that on to the plate, you can see how it's really thickened up. Spoon the diced mango around it and top with the toasted coconut.
