MANGO STICKY RICE

Steps:

• Soak sweet rice in 1 cup water for 20 minutes, or up to 1 hour.
• The sticky rice can be steamed or made in a pot. To make it in a pot, do not drain. Add 3/4 cup (more) water to the rice, plus 1/4 can coconut milk, 1/4 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoons coconut flavoring, and 1 tablespoons brown sugar. Stir this into the rice, lifting any rice grains that have stuck to the bottom of the pot.
• Bring to a gentle boil, then partially cover with a lid (leaving some room for steam to escape). Turn the heat down to medium-low.
• Allow to simmer for 20 minutes, or until the water has been absorbed by the rice. Remove the pot from the heat, place the lid on tight, and leave to "steam" cook for 5-10 minutes.
• Make sauce and serve the dessert right away, or store the rice (covered) in the refrigerator until you are ready to use.
• To make the sauce, warm the rest of the can of coconut milk, together with 1/4 cup sugar, and a pinch of salt, 1 teaspoons coconut flavoring (optional) and 1 teaspoons vanilla flavoring over medium heat (5 minutes).
• Add cornstarch (dissolved in water) to the sauce and stir to thicken it slightly. As it thickens, turn down heat to low. When thickened, remove from heat (Avoid boiling the sauce, or you will lose that wonderful coconut flavor).
• Before serving, taste-test the sauce for sweetness, adding more sugar if desired. If too sweet, for your taste, add a little more coconut milk.
• Place scoops of the sticky rice in bowls. (Note that tht sticky rice can be served cold, warm or at room temperature, as desired). Ladle a generous portion of warm coconut sauce over the rice (creating an "island" of sticky rice) . Add slices.pieces of ripe fresh mango. (If using frozen mango, be sure to give it enough time to thaw before serving).

• 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.
