Sweet Sticky Rice Treat - Black Thai Sticky Rice

Method

• In a large bowl, soak the rices together in plenty of water to cover for 6 to 24 hours.
• Drain.
• Put the rice in a cheesecloth-lined steamer or a large sieve.
• Set the steamer in a saucepan of water, cover and bring to a vigorous boil; the water must not touch the rice.
• Steam for 30 minutes, stirring gently halfway through.
• When done, the rice will be shiny, tender and a little chewy.
• Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, warm the coconut milk over low heat.
• Stir in the palm sugar and salt until dissolved.
• Keep warm over very low heat.
• Transfer the cooked rice to a bowl and gently fold in the warm coconut milk.
• Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature for at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours.
• Serve in small bowls, topped with the sliced fruit.
