Thai Sweet Mango Glutinous Rice (芒果糯米饭)

One of my favorite dessert!  Yummy sweet mango with salty coconut fragrant glutinous rice...
This is the best dessert if you are hosting a party or event. 


Ingredients:
250g Glutinous Rice
80g White Sugar
140ml Coconut Cream
1/2 tsp Salt
2 Pandan Leaves (Tie Knots)
1 Fresh Mango (Thai or Taiwan Manao more suitable)
1/2 tbsp Toasted Sesame Seeds

Extracting Coconut Cream
Use 1/2 kg White Shredded Coconut add in 130ml warm water and mix well.
Squeeze out 140ml coconut cream for cooking rice and 130ml coconut cream for topping.

Making Topping Cream
Use 130ml coconut cream (extracted from above) and put in a small pot.  Add in 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp corn starch and 1 tbsp sgar to pot and mixed well then boil over low heat till mixture thicken and remove to cool.  (Keep stirring while boiling).

Preparation
Soak glutinous rice for 8 hours.  If you glutinous rce near dumpling festival, it's new rice and just need to soak 3 hours will do.
A clean piece of white cloth ( for steaming rice)

  • Cook rice in steamer (wrap with damp white cloth) for about 12 minutes till tender and not too soft (for old rice, steam for 20 minutes).
  • While steaming rice, use the time to cook sugar, coconut cream, salt and pandan leave in a pot till boil and leave aside.  (You could add in Blue Colouring to make the rice colour looks nicer).
  • Once rice is cooked, transfer rice to a big pot that has a lid and pour in the hot coconut mixture and mix well then 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.
  • Add some topping cream on top of rice and mango.
