Sweet Rice with Mango



1.5-2 c. uncooked STICKY rice My steamer can only handle 1.5 cups of uncooked rice and I can only find STICKY rice at the Asian market. Just ask for sticky rice, they know...This is different than jasmine rice or any other rice you find at the grocery store.

**soak rice for 2-3 hours, drain off water
**Steam rice in steamer as you would any other rice according to your steamer instructions

Coconut Milk sauce:
1 can coconut milk
3/4 - 1 cup sugar
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. veg oil

Combine above ingredients in pan, cook over medium heat stirring constantly, bring to boil, remove from heat.

Pour 3/4 of mixture over cooked rice and stir well, cover for 15 minutes.

Cut fresh mango into slices and place on serving of sweet rice,
drizzle some of remaining coconut milk over mangoes....yummy!!


Just for fun information:
Thai sticky rice (also known as "sweet rice" or "glutinous rice") is a tasty, sweet rice that does a great job of filling the stomach--but be careful not to eat too much... According to Thai tradition sticky rice can put you fast asleep if more than a couple handfuls are eaten.
