hoursIngredients
1 cup glutinous rice (sweet rice)
2 mangoes, sliced
sesame seeds, as garnish
- Coconut Cream
1, 13.5 oz can of coconut milk
1/2 cup sugar
pinch of salt
2 tsp cornstarch
2 tsp water
Directions
- Add the rice to a large bowl and rinse until the water runs clear. Cover the rice by a few inches with water and let it soak overnight.
- Set up the steamer for the rice cooker. Place a cheesecloth or clean kitchen towel over the steaming rack, then add the drained rice. Steam for 25-30 minutes, until the rice is tender and glossy.
- In the meantime, prepare the coconut cream by adding the coconut milk, sugar, and salt to a small pot and placing it over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
- Once the rice is done, transfer it to a separate bowl, then gradually fold in 1/2 cup of the warmed sweetened coconut milk. Let this sit for 20 minutes.
- Make a cornstarch slurry by mixing 2 tsp of cornstarch with 2 tsp of water. Add the slurry to the rest of the sweetened coconut milk and cook until thickened.
- Using a small bowl, transfer a portion of the rice to a plate, arrange the mango slices, then pour some coconut cream over the rice. Garnish with sesame seeds, then serve.
