Sweet Yummy Mango Glutinous Rice


I love MANGO but not easy to get nice one!  There's many types of mango nowadays but usually the long type is the one that I find more suitable to make Mango Sticky Rice!

This is the best dessert if you are hosting a party or event!  Trust me..nobody will say NO to nice Mango Sticky Rice!!

Ingredients:
500g Glutinous Rice
160g White Sugar
280ml Coconut Cream
1 tsp Salt
2 Pandan Leaves (Tie Knots)
2 Fresh Mangos (Thai or Taiwan Mango more suitable)
1 tbsp Toasted Sesame Seeds

* Extracting Coconut Cream:
- Use 1 lg White Shredded Coconut add in 250ml Warm Water and mix well.
- Squeeze out 280ml coconut cream for cooking rice and 250ml coconut cream as topping cream.

* Making Topping Cream:
- Use 250ml coconut Cream (extracted as above) and put in a small pot.  Add in 1 tsp Salt, 1 tsp Corn Starch and 2 tbsp sugar to pot and mix well then boil over low heat until mixture thicken and remove to cool. (keep stirring while boiling ok!)

Preparation:
- Soak Glutinous Rice for 8 hours (I use either Song Her or New Moon Brand).  If you buy glutinous rice near dumpling's festival..those are new rice...soak 3 hours will do.
- Need a clean white piece of cloth (for steaming)

Method:
  • Cook Rice in Steamer (wrap with damp white cloth) for about 20 minutes till tender but not too soft (of old rice, steam about 30 minutes).
  • While steaming the rice, use the time to cook Sugar, Coconut Cream, Salt and Pandan Leave in a pot till boil and leave aside.
  • Once rice is cooked, transfer rice to a big pot that has a lid and pour in the hot coconut mixture you boiled while steaming the rice.  Mix well and cover lid and leave it for 30 minutes at room temperature.
  • Scoop a portion of Glutinous Rice on a plate.  Slice mango into desired sizes and place beside the rice.  Pour some topping cream on top of rice and mango.
  • Sprinkle some toasted sesame seeds on top and serve!
Cook's Tip:
- If cooking 1/2 recipe, rice steam time should be halved too ok!!

Hope you will find the time to try out!!
