Ingredients

  • 1 cup glutinous (sweet) rice, preferably long-grain
  • 1 1/4 cup coconut milk, fresh or canned (see note)
  • 1/2 cup granulated cane sugar, raw sugar or light brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/2 cup coconut cream, fresh or canned (see note)
  • 1 or 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and cut in 1/2-inch slices

Method

  • Put rice in a bowl and rinse several times in cold water until water is clear, not milky, then drain.
  • Cover rice with cold water and let soak for at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours.
  • Drain rice using a fine-meshed sieve or colander (line with cheesecloth if colander holes are too large).
  • Place rice over a pot of rapidly simmering water (dont allow water to touch sieve) and steam, covered, for 15 minutes.
  • Remove lid and flip rice over.
  • Continue steaming, covered, for 10 minutes, until rice is translucent and glossy.
  • Taste to make sure rice is completely cooked; it may take up to 10 minutes more.
  • Turn off heat.
  • Fluff rice with a wooden spoon, then cover and let rest for 5 minutes.
  • While rice cooks, put coconut milk, sugar and salt in a small saucepan over low heat.
  • Cook, stirring, just until sugar is dissolved.
  • Set aside.
  • Put warm rice in a serving bowl.
  • Pour coconut milk mixture over rice and stir well.
  • Leave for 10 minutes to let absorb, then stir in coconut cream.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature with mango slices.
