Thai Sticky Rice with Fresh Mango 1 cup sweet rice 1 can coconut milk 1/2 to 1 cup sugar fresh mangoes, peeled and sliced into 1"x3" pieces 1 tsp salt Soak sweet rice in water for 2 hours minimum before cooking. Steam sweet rice in bamboo basket over pot of boiling water (or use cheese cloth). Sweet rice is done when soft and semi-clear. Remove from steam and place in large mixing bowl. Set aside 1/4 cup coconut milk and then mix the remaining into the rice using wooden spoon. Add 1/2 cup sugar and mix well. Taste. Add remaining sugar only to taste. The sweet rice should not be too sweet, but should compliment the fresh fruit. Bring the reserved coconut milk to a simmer in a small sauce pan. Add salt. Taste, the coconut milk should be pretty salty as a contrast for the sweet. Serve sweetened sticky rice on plate with fresh mango. Drizzle salty coconut milk as garnish.
