Coconut Milk Sticky Rice With Mangoes Food

MANGO WITH STICKY COCONUT RICE (KAO NIAW)

Steps:

• Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat; gently cook and stir rice in the hot oil until toasted, 2 to 3 minutes. Add coconut milk, water, sugar, and salt; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover saucepan, and simmer until rice is tender and has absorbed all the liquid, 20 to 25 minutes. Stir coconut cream into rice.
• Scoop rice into a serving bowl and top with mango.

STICKY RICE WITH COCONUT MILK AND MANGO

Steps:

• Rinse sweet rice until water runs clear. Soak rice in warm water, 2 to 4 hours. Drain.
• Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Line the steamer with cheese cloth and spoon rice into cheese cloth; steam until thoroughly cooked, about 20 minutes. Remove steamer from heat and transfer rice to a bowl.
• Mix coconut milk, sugar, and salt together in a saucepan; bring to a simmer. Pour 3/4 of the coconut milk mixture over rice; cover bowl and let sit for 5 minutes.
• Pour remaining coconut milk mixture over rice and top with mango slices.

COCONUT MILK STICKY RICE WITH MANGOES

Steps:

• Steam the sticky rice until tender (see Editor's Notes, below).
• Meanwhile, place the coconut milk in a heavy pot and heat over medium heat until hot. Do not boil. Add the sugar and salt and stir to dissolve completely.
• When the sticky rice is tender, turn it out into a bowl and pour 1 cup of the hot coconut milk over; reserve the rest. Stir to mix the liquid into the rice, then let stand for 20 minutes to an hour to allow the flavors to blend.
• Meanwhile, peel the mangoes. The mango pit is flat and you want to slice the mango flesh off the pit as cleanly as possible. One at a time, lay the mangoes on a narrow side on a cutting board and slice lengthwise about 1/2 inch from the center - your knife should cut just along the flat side of the pit; if it strikes the pit, shift over a fraction of an inch more until you can slice downward. Repeat on the other side of the pit, giving you two hemispherical pieces of mango. (The cook gets to snack on the stray bits of mango still clinging to the pit.) Lay each mango half flat and slice thinly crosswise.
• To serve individually, place an oval mound of sticky rice on each dessert plate and place a sliced half-mango decoratively beside it. Top with a sprig of mint or basil if you wish. Or, place the mango slices on a platter and pass it around, together with a serving bowl containing the rice, allowing guests to serve themselves. Stir the remaining sweetened coconut milk thoroughly, transfer to a small serving bowl or cruet, and pass it separately, with a spoon, so guests can spoon on extra as they wish.
• Notes:
• You can substitute black Thai sticky rice for half the white rice. Soak the two rices together; the white rice will turn a beautiful purple as it takes on color from the black rice. Cooking will take 10 minutes longer.
• Unlike plain sticky rice, Coconut Milk Sticky Rice has enough moisture and oils in it that it keeps well for 24 hours, in a covered container in the refrigerator, without drying out. Rewarm it the next day by steaming or in a microwave.

COCONUT STICKY RICE WITH MANGO

Steps:

• Put the rice in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Soak for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight.
• Transfer the soaked rice to a cone-shaped bamboo steamer basket. The rice should sit on the bottom of the basket. Add 4 cups water to the steamer pot. Heat the water on high until it is boiling.
• Insert the basket into the pot and cover it to steam for 10 minutes. Flip the rice once and let it steam for another 10 minutes.
• Heat the coconut milk, sugar and salt in a small saucepan until simmering, then remove from the heat. Reserve 1/4 cup and fold the remaining coconut sauce into the rice. Cover the rice for 30 minutes.
• Serve with the mangoes or any fruit in season. Drizzle with the reserved 1/4 cup coconut sauce.

STICKY RICE WITH MANGO

Steps:

• Put the rice in a large strainer inside a large bowl and rinse the rice repeatedly in cold water until the water is clear (not cloudy with starch). Cover the rice with cold water and cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Refrigerate the rice overnight.
• Place the rice in a sieve or steam basket over a pot of simmering water. (The water should be at the level of a double boiler so it creates steam but no water actually touches the rice as it cooks.) Cover the pot to trap the steam. Cook until the rice is tender, 35 to 40 minutes. You can test by pressing a few grains between your fingers or, better, tasting a few grains. Transfer the rice in an even layer to a baking sheet. Cover loosely. Leave at room temperature.
• In a medium saucepan, simmer and reduce the coconut milk by about half, 25 to 30 minutes. Stir in the granulated sugar, brown sugar and salt and simmer until the sugar dissolves, a few minutes more. Transfer the cooked rice to a large bowl. Remove the sugar mixture from the heat, then add it to the bowl with the cooked rice and allow the mixture to cool for 10 minutes. Gently combine the rice with the coconut mixture while breaking up the larger clumps of rice. Let it sit until the liquid is absorbed by the rice, at room temperature for 1 hour or up to overnight in the refrigerator.
• In a small pan, melt and lightly brown the butter over medium heat. Add the sesame seeds and immediately remove the pan from the heat, tossing to toast and coat the sesame seeds with the butter, 1 minute. Drain.
• Toss the mango slices with about 1 teaspoon of the lime juice and set aside.
• Using an ice cream scoop or a cup measure, mold the rice mix into individual bowls. Alternatively, mold onto 1 large serving platter. Top with the lime zest, remaining lime juice, mango slices and toasted sesame seeds.

THAI COCONUT-MANGO STICKY RICE

Steps:

• Rice: Cook rice according to package directions, but substitute coconut milk for half of the water, and add half the sugar.
• It should be fairly dry when you finish cooking it, without any liquid visible in the pot.
• Sauce: In a medium saucepan, boil the rest of the coconut milk with the second half of the sugar.
• Keep this at a full boil until the rice is cooked, or until it reaches a thick, syrupy consistency.
• Presentation: Arrange the cooked coconut rice in a bowl or plate with the mango slices in some kind of pretty formation and dribble a bit of the sauce over the whole thing.

THAI STICKY RICE WITH MANGOES

Steps:

• Rinse and soak glutinous rice for a minimum of 4 hours.
• Using a traditional Thai rice steamer boil water in metal basin.
• Wrap soaked and drained rice in cheesecloth and place in bamboo portion of steamer, cover with the lid to a 3 quart sauce pan so as to trap most of the steam.
• Set timer for 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, peel and slice mangoes vertically off of the central pit.
• Cut widthwise into several pieces.
• Set aside.
• In a small saucepan heat coconut milk, sugar and salt over low heat until hot. Do not allow to boil or the coconut milk may curdle.
• Reserve a scant 1/4 cup of the milk mixture.
• When rice is finished steaming remove from cheesecloth and place into saucepan holding coconut milk mixture, breaking up rice to fully soak in milk.
• Allow to sit for no longer than 5 minutes.
• Serve immediately using reserved coconut milk mixture to drizzle over rice and sesame seeds to sprinkle on top. Serve mangoes atop rice or beside.

STICKY RICE WITH MANGO

Steps:

• Put rice in a bowl and rinse several times in cold water until water is clear, not milky, then drain. Cover rice with cold water and let soak for at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours.
• Drain rice using a fine-meshed sieve or colander (line with cheesecloth if colander holes are too large). Place rice over a pot of rapidly simmering water (don't allow water to touch sieve) and steam, covered, for 15 minutes.
• Remove lid and flip rice over. Continue steaming, covered, for 10 minutes, until rice is translucent and glossy. Taste to make sure rice is completely cooked; it may take up to 10 minutes more. Turn off heat. Fluff rice with a wooden spoon, then cover and let rest for 5 minutes.
• While rice cooks, put coconut milk, sugar and salt in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring, just until sugar is dissolved. Set aside.
• Put warm rice in a serving bowl. Pour coconut milk mixture over rice and stir well. Leave for 10 minutes to let absorb, then stir in coconut cream. Serve warm or at room temperature with mango slices.

STICKY RICE & MANGO

Steps:

• Soak the sticky rice in cold water for at least 3 hours, or overnight. Drain and rinse thoroughly. Line a steamer with double thickness muslin or a J-cloth (single thickness) and place the rice on top. Bring the water in the steamer to the boil and steam the rice over moderate heat for 30 minutes, turning halfway. Put in a bowl and set aside.
• Combine the coconut milk and sugar in a small pan and heat gently, stirring all the time, until the sugar has dissolved. Do not boil. Stir in the salt and pour over the cooked rice, stirring gently; set aside to cool.
• Peel the mangoes and cut off the two outer cheeks of each fruit, as close to the stones as possible. Discard the stones. Slice each piece of fruit into thin lengthways slices.
• Put a mound of rice on a dish lined with a leaf and nestle the mango next to it. Pour the coconut cream over and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
