Equipment
- steamer made of bamboo
Ingredients
STICKY RICE
- 1 c glutinous rice
- 4 c water plus more for steaming
COCONUT SAUCE
- 14 oz coconut cream
- ⅔ c white sugar
- ¼ tsp kosher salt
MANGO
- 2 Ataulfo mango sliced
TOPPING (OPTIONAL)
- split mung beans toasted
- white sesame toasted
Instructions
GLUTINOUS RICE
- Soak the glutinous rice water for at minimum four hours or for a minimum of overnight. This significantly reduces the time for steaming.
- After soaking, pour enough water that is boiling on steamer. Place the rice into the steamer and cook for 20 mins.
- Fry the rice using an fork and test whether it is cooked. It should appear sticky (almost similar to a glue-like texture) and will be chewy as you bite. It should be cooked evenly without dry grains.
COCONUT SAUCE
- While the rice is boiling make your coconut cream with sugar as well as salt, in a large saucepan at medium-low temperature. Continue to stir until all salt and sugar crystals melt in the coconut cream. Cook for two to three minutes , or until it becomes slightly thicker.
- Keep about 1/4 of the mixture in an mixing bowl. Once your rice is finished steaming, put the rice into the mixing bowl to make it sweeter. Cover the bowl with a cloth and allow it to rest for 10 to 15 minutes for the rice to absorb.
- Continue cooking the remainder part of the sauce 5 to 8 minutes on low heat until it begins to thicken. The consistency will be like maple syrup. If you employ a spoon to draw lines within your pot the coconut sauce won't be able to move as much. After that, transfer the sauce into the container.
TOASTED TOPPINGS (OPTIONAL)
- Toasted sesame or mung bean In a skillet on a medium heat, cook the sesame for one to four minutes , or the mung beans over about two minutes. Continue to stir or toss them in the pan until they are evenly toasted and based on the temperature of your stove's medium setting, it could take them in a matter of minutes. As soon as they begin to become golden and you get a sweet aroma, take them from the flame and transfer them to a container or even a small dish.
ASSEMBLY
- Cut the mango into pieces or in cubes and place onto your plates.Put your sweetened and soaked sticky rice to the plate. Drizzle the coconut sauce over it.If you'd like to add more texture, sprinkle some toasted sesame seeds and toasted beans over the top of the dish and take a bite!
