| Sweetened sticky rice with mango |
Ingredient (for 2 portions)
- Sticky rice(500 gr)
- Ground coconut(500 gr)
- Fine salt (1tbs)
- White sugar (¾ cup)
- Palm sugar (1tbs)
Procedure:
1. Soak the sweet rice in 1 cup water for 20 minutes, or up to 1 hour.
2. The sticky rice can be steamed or made in a pot. To make it in a pot, do not drain. Add 3/4 cup (more) water to the rice, plus 1/4 can coconut milk, 1/4 tsp. salt, 1 tsp. coconut flavoring, and 1 Tbsp. brown sugar. Stir this into the rice, lifting any rice grains that have stuck to the bottom of the pot.
3. Bring to a gentle boil, and then partially cover with a lid (leaving some room for steam to escape). Turn the heat down to medium-low (#2.5 to 3 on the dial).
4. Allow to simmer for 20 minutes or until the water has been absorbed by the rice. Remove the pot from the heat, place the lid on tight, and leave to "steam" cook for 5-10 minutes.
5. Make sauce and serve the dessert right away, or store the rice (covered) in the refrigerator until you're ready to use it.
6. To make the sauce, warm the rest of the can of coconut milk together with 1/4 cup sugar, a pinch of salt, 1 tsp. coconut flavoring (optional) and 1 tsp. vanilla flavoring over medium heat (5 minutes).
7. Add cornstarch (dissolved in the water) to the sauce and stir to thicken it slightly. As it thickens, turn down heat to low. When thickened, remove from heat.
Tip: Try not to boil the sauce, or you will lose that wonderful coconut flavor.
1. Before serving, taste-test the sauce for sweetness, adding more sugar if desired. If too sweet for your taste, add a little more coconut milk.
Remark:
When sticky rice cooked and put coconut milk into it, it has to be quickly stir, if coconut milk and sticky rice cooled down, it will look wet.
