Reserved cooked rice from Basil Chicken recips
2 (14-ounce) cans coconut milk, divided
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1 lime, peeled in strips
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 mango, diced
1/4 cup sweetened shredded coconut

Steps:

In a medium pot, stir together the rice, 1 1/2 cans coconut milk (reserve remaining coconut milk for Round 2 Recipe Coconut Chicken Soup), sugar, and lime peel. Put the pot over medium heat, bring it to a simmer, and cover. Cook until the pudding becomes very thick, 20 to 25 minutes.

After the pudding has cooled 10 minutes, stir in the vanilla. Serve the rice pudding topped with diced mango and sprinkled with toasted coconut.
