Mango sticky rice
Servings: 4
Time: 1 hr
Skill: Intermediate
Ingredients:
2 mangoes
250g glutinous rice
2 strips pandan leaves (cut into 4cm)
200ml coconut milk
50g sugar
¼ tsp salt
20g white sesame (toasted)
Coconut Cream:
150ml coconut milk
1 tbsp sugar
⅛ tsp salt
¾ tsp tapioca starch
Steps:
Wash and rinse 250g glutinous rice until the water is clear. Soak the glutinous rice in water for 6 hours or overnight.
Drain the water.
Steam the glutinous rice over a muslin cloth for 15 to 20 minutes until it’s cooked.
While the glutinous rice is steaming, prepare the coconut cream and sugar mixture.
In a pot add in 200ml coconut milk, ¼ tsp salt, 50g sugar and bring it to a gentle simmer.
Gently stirring until all the sugar has dissolved. DO NOT LET IT BOIL.
When glutinous rice is cooked, remove pandan leaves and transfer rice to mixing bowl
In a cutting and gentle turning motion, slowly drizzle in the coconut mixture in.
The glutinous rice will absorb all liquid, resulting in a glistening pearly rice sheen.
Dry toast 20g sesame seed until . Set aside to cool.
Pour 150ml coconut cream into a sauce pot. Stir in 1 tbsp sugar, ¼ tsp salt and ¾ tsp tapioca starch. Bring to a scalding point. Stir gently until sugar dissolves and coconut mixture thickens.
Serve glutinous rice with sliced mangoes and drizzle coconut cream on top
