Thai Coconut Mango Sticky Rice Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Put the rice in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Soak for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight.
• Transfer the soaked rice to a cone-shaped bamboo steamer basket. The rice should sit on the bottom of the basket. Add 4 cups water to the steamer pot. Heat the water on high until it is boiling.
• Insert the basket into the pot and cover it to steam for 10 minutes. Flip the rice once and let it steam for another 10 minutes.
• Heat the coconut milk, sugar and salt in a small saucepan until simmering, then remove from the heat. Reserve 1/4 cup and fold the remaining coconut sauce into the rice. Cover the rice for 30 minutes.
• Serve with the mangoes or any fruit in season. Drizzle with the reserved 1/4 cup coconut sauce.

Steps:

• Rinse rice well under cold water, then drain.
• Place rice and water in a saucepan over medium heat and bring to the boil.
• Allow rice to simmer until almost all liquid has been absorbed.
• Remove pan from heat and pour coconut cream over rice.
• Cover rice and allow to stand for 5-7 minutes or until coconut cream has been absorbed.
• Stir sugar through rice and set aside.
• Place banana leaves in boiling water for 1-2 minutes or until they are soft.
• Divide rice into 6 portions.
• Spread half of each portion over the middle of the banana leaf.
• Top rice with a sprinkling of mango, lime rind and juice, and palm sugar.
• Cover filling with remaining portions of rice.
• Roll up leaves and secure with toothpicks.
• Place leaf packages on a hot barbecue or char grill and cook for 2 minutes on each side or until rice is heated through.
• Serve warm or cold.

Steps:

• Rinse rice and place in a 3-qt. microwave-safe dish. Cover with water; let stand 1 hour., Drain rice and return to dish; add 2 cups water. Microwave, covered, on high for 8-12 minutes or until rice is tender, stirring every 3 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes., Meanwhile, peel and thinly slice 1/2 of a mango; reserve for serving. Peel and coarsely chop remaining mangoes., In a large saucepan, combine coconut milk, brown sugar and salt; cook and stir until heated through and brown sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat; stir in chopped mangoes. Cool slightly., Process mango mixture in batches in a blender until smooth. To serve, place warm or room temperature rice in serving dishes. Spoon sauce over rice; top with sliced mango.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat; gently cook and stir rice in the hot oil until toasted, 2 to 3 minutes. Add coconut milk, water, sugar, and salt; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover saucepan, and simmer until rice is tender and has absorbed all the liquid, 20 to 25 minutes. Stir coconut cream into rice.
• Scoop rice into a serving bowl and top with mango.

Steps:

• Tips: If done in a 2+ quart microwavable casserole with a lid, you can go from start to table really quickly, easily, and with minimal cleanup. To speed things up even further, make your sauces and prep your fruit while your rice is soaking/cooking. Be sure to use glutinous rice, which can be found at Asian markets. It will be labeled "glutinous rice" and/or "sweet rice". Good ripe mangoes are a MUST, so be sure you can find them first, before you go any further.
• Soak raw rice in plenty of water for 30 minutes. Rinse the rice by stirring it with your fingers, draining, and refilling with water. Stir-drain-refill a couple or three times, then finally drain most of the water away until the rice is covered by about a quarter inch of water. Microwave on high, covered, for ten minutes.
• Shake a 13.5 ounce can of coconut milk well before opening then divide in half: pour one half into a bowl or tall glass to make the rice sauce, and keep the other half in the can to make the cream sauce. Or the other way 'round, it doesn't matter :-).
• Rice sauce: Stir a cup of sugar and pinch of salt into the coconut milk until dissolved. Pour *most* of the mixture over the cooked rice and stir gently but thoroughly to blend (I feel that this makes a little too much sauce so I use about 3/4 of it and discard the remainder.) The rice/sauce mixture will be soupy while hot but will firm up well once cooled. If you want to add mango chunks to the whole dish, now is the time to stir them inches If you want to make individual serving cups, set them up now and chill to firm.
• Cream sauce: Stir the corn starch, salt, and sugar into the other half can of coconut milk. Heat in a sauce pan, uncovered, on the stove top until bubbling, stirring frequently to avoid scorching.
• Serving notes: This makes a glorious platter with the fruit arranged around a big mound of rice with the cream sauce drizzled over the top, or you can fancy it up by presenting individual dishes. If I'm making this for a party I serve it in the same covered casserole dish that I cooked it in, stirring the mango chunks into the rice and offering the cream sauce on the side. That way everyone gets plenty of mango and sauce instead of just the first guests. However you choose to serve it, it's a hit.
