Sticky Mango Rice


This week is about having a wide range of experiences-- power tools to pedicure, flea market to driving range. Southern cooking to Thai dessert. I had a good night of wonderful conversation and great food with Tea & Metro. Here is the recipe for Mango Sticky Rice in my own imprecise words:

Locate Rice. Unable to find sticky varieties at King Soopers, I opt for sushi rice. Soak enough of this to make 4 cups in water overnight. Drain out water and reserve. Steam rice as directed on package. I use that leftover soaking water again to steam the rice.

Sauce:
1 can coconut milk
8 T. sugar
2 t. salt

Bring this to a boil. Reduce to simmer. Simmer until slightly thick. Pour some of this over rice to let liquid absorb for 30 minutes.

Heap rice on plates. Top with additional sauce and sesame seeds. Serve with mango. You will have leftover sauce unless you make 1/2 the quantity listed above. What else are you going to do with a whole can of coconut milk? Cheers!
