Sticky rice with mango recipe. ( Khao niaow mamuang )

Craving for sticky rice with mango. Remembering my years living in Thailand.

Recipe from epicurious :

INGREDIENTS

• 1 1/2 cups glutinous (sweet) rice
• 1 1/3 cups well-stirred canned unsweetened coconut milk
• 1/3 cup plus 3 tablespoons sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted lightly
• 1 large mango, peeled, pitted, and cut into thin slices (at least 24)

PREPARATION

In a bowl wash rice well in several changes of cold water until water is clear. Soak rice in cold water to cover overnight.

Drain rice well in a sieve. Cover and steam for about 20 min or until the grains of rice are tender.

While rice is cooking, in a small saucepan bring 1 cup coconut milk to a boil with 1/3 cup sugar and salt, stirring until sugar is dissolved, and remove from heat. Keep mixture warm.

Transfer cooked rice to a bowl and stir in coconut-milk mixture. Let rice stand, covered, 30 minutes, or until coconut-milk mixture is absorbed. Rice may be prepared up to this point 2 hours ahead and kept covered at room temperature.

While rice is standing, in cleaned small pan slowly boil remaining 1/3 cup coconut milk with remaining 3 tablespoons sugar, stirring occasionally, 1 minute. Transfer sauce to a small bowl and chill until cool and thickened slightly.

To serve, mold 1/4 cup servings of sticky rice on dessert plates. Drizzle desserts with sauce and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Divide mango slices among plates.
