We had this on our anniversary/retirement trip to Thailand and found this recipe to recreate it upon our return to the cold.

Planning

serves: 4
preparation time: 8 hrs!
cooking time: tba

Ingredients

  • 115 g white glutinous rice
  • 175 ml thick coconut milk
  • 3 tbs sugar
  • pinch of salt
  • 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and sliced
  • strips of lime rind to decorate

Method

Thoroughly rinse the rice until the water stays clear, then soak the rice overnight.

Drain the rice and spread evenly in a steamer lined with cheesecloth. Cover and steam until the rice is tender (between 20 mins and 1 hour!).

Reserve 3 tbs of the top of the coconut milk. Bring the remaining coconut milk to the simmer and dissolve the sugar and salt in it, stirring constantly. Pour into a bowl to cool. When cooled add the rice, stir well and leave to stand for 10-15 mins.

Spoon the rice onto individual serving plates. Arrange the mango slices on one side and drizzle with the reserved coconut milk. Decorate with the lime rind and serve.
