Sticky Rice with Mango

The Thai restaurants don't always serve this dessert on their menu. It is usually their special item when mangos are in season. I make this throughout the year at home and love it. Sometimes I add mangos and sometimes I just make the sticky rice alone. It is very delicious. It is a sweet dessert and very filling.

Ingredients

1 cup sticky rice (sold at store as Thai Sweet Rice)
2 TBS sugar
2 pinches of salt
1 cup coconut milk
1 mango
1/4 cup condensed milk

Where to buy the ingredients

I bought the Thai Sweet Rice at an Asian grocery store. I bought all the other ingredients there also. I'm not sure if Vons and other common stores sell the rice, but you can find all the other ingredients at any grocery store.

How to Make it

Cut the mango into slices and put aside.

Put 1 cup of the rice in a glass Pyrex cup or any other glass container. Add warm water to cover the rice and soak for 10 minutes.

Cover the cup and cook in the microwave for 3 minutes. Stir after 3 minutes and then cook in the microwave for another 3 minutes.

The rice is done when it begins to look translucent.

In a saucepan over the stove heat the coconut milk over medium heat. Stir constancy. After the coconut milk is heated turn down to simmer.

Add the sugar and salt to the milk and stir.

Pour 3/4 cup of the milk over the sticky rice and let it sit for 5 minutes.

The sticky rice will absorb all the milk. The rice will appear to be a little mushy.

Put the rice on a plate. Spoon a little more milk on top and spoon a little condensed milk on top. This gives it a little more of a sweet flavor and syrup like topping. Add the mango slices on top and Enjoy!!

Serves 2-4.

This dessert can be enjoyed with or without the mango. It is very filling, so a little bit is very satisfying. I hope you enjoy this dessert as much as I do.
