Sweet Sticky Rice With Mangoes and Sesame Seeds image

My favorite dessert when I'm at a Thai restaurant or I've just had sushi is the sticky rice with coconut milk. I was so excited to find this recipe in Food and Wine June 2009. I used a Basmati rice (like you would use for sushi), but I'm not an expert on Thai sticky rice. I think you can even buy the rice already cooked, but this is really a simple concoction. I didn't have mangoes but used fresh peaches instead and still LOVED IT! This is a recipe I'll definitely make again. Personally, I'd use a little less salt in the Rice (1/2 tablespoon instead of a tablespoon), but that's a personal preference. Don't be alarmed by the total prep time because this is not a labor intensive recipe.

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups unsweetened coconut milk
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 1/2 cups thai sticky rice
1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon kosher salt
2 mangoes (peeled, pitted, and coarsely chopped)
2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted

Steps:

  • Make the sauce: In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk with the sugar and salt.
  • Bring to a simmer and cook over moderate heat until thickened slightly, about 10 minutes.
  • Transfer the mixture to a sauceboat and let cool to room temperature, about 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the rice. In a large microwave-safe bowl, cover the sticky rice with water and let soak for 1 hour.
  • Drain the rice and return it to the bowl.
  • Add 2 1/4 cups water and cover the bowl with plastic wrap.
  • Microwave the rice on high power for 5 minutes.
  • Pull back the plastic wrap and stir the rice.
  • Replace the plastic wrap and microwave the rice for another 5 minutes.
  • Pull back the plastic wrap to stir the rice a second time.
  • Replace the plastic wrap and microwave until the rice is just tender, about 3 minutes longer.
  • Let stand, covered, for 5 minutes.
  • In a small saucepan, combine the coconut milk with the sugar and salt and bring to a simmer.
  • Pour the hot coconut milk over the rice, folding until just combined.
  • Spoon the rice into bowls.
  • Top with the mango and sesame seeds and serve, passing the sauce at the table.
