  • Mango Sticky Rice

    Mango Sticky Rice

    Mango Sticky Rice (Serves 8)


    1 can coconut milk (2 cups)
    3 cups sticky rice
    1½ cups palm sugar
    pinch of salt
    4 champagne or Manilla mangos


    NOTES:You can substitute white sugar for palm sugar, just decrease the amount to only 1 cup. If you don't have a sticky rice steamer just put the rice in a small colander and set that inside a larger pot with ¾ inch of water, bring the water to boil and set it to simmer, covering the pot.
     

    In a large bowl put in the sticky rice and pour cold water over the top until it is ½ inch over the top of the rice, let soak for 3 hours, up to overnight.

    In another bowl, add the coconut milk, sugar and salt and stir until the sugar is dissolved. You could slightly warm up the mixture to dissolve the sugar quicker, just remember to let coconut syrup cool before you add it to the rice, unless you are serving it warm.

    Steam the sticky rice for 10 minutes, flip the rice over and steam another 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and transfer the rice to a large bowl.

    Adding a little syrup at a time, use a rubber spatula to "cut" the syrup into the sticky rice, using a cutting motion (similar to adding sushi vinegar to sushi rice). Keep repeating until you have mixed in ¾ of the syrup. Reserve the rest of the syrup for drizzling over the top of the mangos.
    Let site for 30 minutes.

    Peel the mangos and then slice the mangos so there's 2 fat lengths and 2 skinny lengths, as the seed is large and flat you cut the larger pieces off the 2 sides, then cut off the 2 short side pieces.
    cut the mango into equal slices and place on top of the sticky rice, now pour the remaining syrup over the mangos and sticky rice and serve.

  • Mango Sticky Rice with Coconut Honey Sauce

    Mango Sticky Rice with Coconut Honey Sauce
    (Serves 4)


    12 oz sticky rice also called sweat rice or glutinous rice
    1 mango, deseeded and peeled, cut into slices or chunks
    6 tblsp honey
    ½ tsp salt
    1 cup coconut milk
    3 tsp cornstarch
    ¼ tsp sesame seeds, toasted, optional


    NOTES:

    Soak your sticky rice in water overnight, at a minimum 6 hours, the longer you soak it the better it gets.

    Using cheese cloth, dampening in water and then put your rice in and wrap it up like a gift. Place in the heated steamer for 10 minutes, then flip the package over and steam for another 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and let sit in the steamer for 5 more minutes. Meanwhile in a sauce pan we are making the sauce that will infuse the rice and also be a sauce for the rice. Add the coconut milk, salt and the honey, on medium low heat stir until fully blended.

    Pour ½ of the sauce into a large bowl, reserve the rest of the sauce and keep in the pan. In the large bowl unpack the sticky rice and add to the large bowl. Mix the rice and sauce when your finished mixing put it back in the cheese cloth, wrap it back up and return it to the steamer for 5 minutes, then flip the package and steam for 10 more minutes. Meanwhile with the other half of the sauce, turn the heat back on medium low, mix the cornstarch with a tablespoon of the sauce from the pan until its smooth, then pour some of the cornstarch slurry into the hot sauce to thicken it up. Add a little of the slurry at first, let the mixture come to a simmer and then check the consistency, if it needs more slurry to thicken then add some more slurry until it is at a good thickness, syrup like. Remove from heat and set aside.

    Time to assemble! Add the sticky rice to your serving plate and shape with a large spoon into a round mound, if you didn't have a large scoop. Fan the sliced mango around the rice or place the chunks next the rice in a tidy pile. Pour some sauce on top of the rice and mangos and sprinkle the top with the toasted sesame seeds if your using them. Enjoy!
