Thai Coconut-Mango Sticky Rice image

I was trying to match a dessert sold at a local Thai restaurant; this is pretty close, but not exact. The real thing uses glutinous rice, but since that is not available in most of the U.S., this can be a variation for people without it.

Time 35m

Yield 3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/2 cup jasmine rice or 1/2 cup other sweet asian rice
1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk (you can use the light kind if you want, it just makes it a little less rich)
1/2 cup sugar
1 mango, sliced

Steps:

  • Rice: Cook rice according to package directions, but substitute coconut milk for half of the water, and add half the sugar.
  • It should be fairly dry when you finish cooking it, without any liquid visible in the pot.
  • Sauce: In a medium saucepan, boil the rest of the coconut milk with the second half of the sugar.
  • Keep this at a full boil until the rice is cooked, or until it reaches a thick, syrupy consistency.
  • Presentation: Arrange the cooked coconut rice in a bowl or plate with the mango slices in some kind of pretty formation and dribble a bit of the sauce over the whole thing.
