Mango and Sticky Rice

Directions

1. 1
   Rinse rice several times until the water runs clear.
2. 2
   Soak in water above the level of the rice 6-8 hours or overnight.
3. 3
   Steam rice until soft (or you can boil it in lots of water until it's translucent and soft).
4. 4
   It WILL be sticky - it's supposed to be.
5. 5
   In the meantime, pour coconut milk into a saucepan and add salt and sugar.
6. 6
   Heat just to a slow simmer - do not boil, as it will curdle.
7. 7
   Remove from heat and reserve 1/3 cup to use as a sauce.
8. 8
   Peel and slice mango.
9. 9
   When rice is done, pour remaining sauce over the rice and allow to sit until all sauce is soaked into rice.
10. 10
    To serve, scoop out a mound of sticky rice and serve with sliced mangoes on the top or the side.
11. 11
    Use reserved sweetened coconut milk as a sauce if desired.
12. 12
    Can also garnish with sesame seeds if desired.
13. 13
    Best (in my opinion) eaten either room temperature or warm.
