STICKY RICE WITH MANGO-COCONUT SAUCE

Steps:

• Rinse rice and place in a 3-qt. microwave-safe dish. Cover with water; let stand 1 hour., Drain rice and return to dish; add 2 cups water. Microwave, covered, on high for 8-12 minutes or until rice is tender, stirring every 3 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes., Meanwhile, peel and thinly slice 1/2 of a mango; reserve for serving. Peel and coarsely chop remaining mangoes., In a large saucepan, combine coconut milk, brown sugar and salt; cook and stir until heated through and brown sugar is dissolved.

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.

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.

Cover the bowl with an upside-down plate or plastic wrap and microwave on high for 3 minutes. Carefully stir the rice from top to bottom, then cover and cook the rice for another 3 minutes. Repeat the process, stirring and microwaving 3 minutes at a time, until all the water has been absorbed and the rice has turned translucent (this means it's cooked). Set aside to cool slightly.
• In a medium saucepan, bring the coconut milk to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer, add the sugar and salt, and stir until they dissolve. Remove from the heat, pour the hot coconut milk over the warm sticky rice, and stir to combine. Let sit for 5 minutes so the rice can absorb the coconut milk.
• Transfer to a serving bowl and top with the toasted coconut. Serve with sliced mango. If desired, garnish with sesame seeds and fresh mint.

MACADAMIA CRUSTED HALIBUT OVEN ROASTED ASPARAGUS SPICY MANGO SALSA, PONZU SAUCE, COCONUT STICKY RICE

Steps:

• Lay the 4 pieces of halibut on a clean work surface. Season each piece with the salt, pepper, and cayenne. Using a brush, quickly spread a thin layer of the egg whites on top of the fish and then sprinkle over the chopped macadamia nuts. Press the nuts into the fish to secure. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Heat a large saute pan coated with the oil to medium heat. Place 2 pieces (or 4 if the pan is big enough) of the fish, macadamia side-down, in the pan and sear for 3 to 4 minutes, until the macadamias are golden brown. Flip the fish and cook for another 3 minutes. Repeat the process with the 2 remaining pieces of fish. Place all 4 pieces of fish in a baking dish and cook in the oven for another 8 to 10 minutes.
• Form the Rice into a small flat disk in the center of the plate. Spoon some of the Salsa on top of the rice. Lean the fish against the rice and drizzle the sauce around the plate. Place the Asparagus against the fish and garnish with the Garlic Chips.
• In a large bowl filled with water, soak the rice for 24 hours in the refrigerator. Fit a colander or steamer lined with leaves (lotus, banana, Napa) inside of a large stockpot filled with water and add the rice to the colander. Make sure that the water is not touching the colander. Steam the rice for about 25 to 30 minutes. When the rice is soft, remove it from the colander and place it into a large mixing bowl. Add the coconut flakes and milk to the rice and season with the salt, pepper, and sugar. Set aside.
• In a medium mixing bowl, add the pineapple, mango, papaya, jalapeno, lime juice, and red onion. Toss gently and season with salt and pepper.
• Prepare a saute pan over medium heat. Sweat the shallots, garlic, and 1 tablespoon of the butter, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add the ponzu, mirin, dashi, salt, and pepper and allow to boil. Remove from heat and pour in a blender. Add the miso, blend and add the remaining tablespoon of butter.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In an oven proof saute pan, combine the asparagus, garlic oil, salt and pepper and roast in the oven for about 5 minutes, until the asparagus are tender.

COCONUT STICKY RICE IN BANANA LEAVES (KHAO DOME)

Steps:

• Unless you've managed to find rinse-free sticky rice (I never have), you'll need to rinse and soak the rice beforehand. Start with the uncooked rice in a large bowl, and add several cups (no need to measure) of cold water. Shake and stir the rice around with your hands; you'll see the water turn white. Drain the water from the rice, and keep repeating this step until the water stops turning completely white. Finally, add water to the bowl to cover the rice and let it soak for at least 6 hours (overnight is best).
• If you have a rice cooker, use it to prepare the rice. If not, add the rice and 1 cup of water to a medium pot. Bring the water to a boil, then cover the pot and turn the heat down to medium-low. Let the rice cooked undisturbed for 20 minutes, then check to see if it is done. Cook longer if needed. When the rice is ready, set it aside to cool.
• In a large pot, combine the coconut milk (make sure to shake the can well before opening) and sugar. Mix over medium-high heat until the sugar is dissolved and the sauce is combined and creamy.
• Add the cooled rice into the pot with the coconut milk mixture. Stir to combine, and continue to cook over medium-high heat until the mixture is the consistency of thick porridge. Remove from heat. You could serve this mixture by itself or with some mango as a dessert rather than continuing with the recipe -- we eat it this way from time to time.
• Peel the plantain and slice it into 8-10 rectangular pieces.
• Rinse the banana leaves and cut them down to around the size of a standard sheet of paper (8.5 in x 11 in).
• To make the khao dome, lay out a single banana leaf (sideways, or wider than it is tall). Plop a small dollop of the rice mixture in the center, then lay a slice of plantain on it, and add another dollop of rice on top of the plantain. Wet your fingers and use your hands to form the rice and plantain into a rectangle (taller than wide, opposite of the banana leaf). Now fold one side of the leaf over the rice, then fold the other side of the leaf back over the rice. Continue to wrap the leaf around the rice until you run out of leaf. Fold the top of the leaf down and the bottom of the leaf up; now you should have a nice little leaf package. You could tie it closed with some string, but I don't think it's necessary.
• You'll need a steaming basket for this step. You can easily pick one up at a local asian market for a few dollars; I think it's a great investment! Stack the khao dome in the steam basket and cover. Fit the basket over a large pot with 2-3 inches of water in it, and heat the water to boiling over high heat. Steam the khao dome for 40 minutes and then remove them from the basket to cool.
• Enjoy! These are great for on-the-go snacking, just peel the banana leaf back and use it to hold the rice.

COCONUT CURRY OVER STICKY RICE

Steps:

• Heat butter in a pan over medium-low heat. Saute onion until soft, translucent, and slightly caramelized, about 10 minutes. Add apple, garlic, curry powder, tomato paste, flour, garam masala, and ginger. Stir while allowing spices to bloom and flour to cook, 2 to 3 minutes. Add 2 cups coconut milk, carrots, and potato; bring to a boil. Add 4 cups broth, brown sugar, soy sauce, and Sriracha; return to a boil.
• Toss chicken into the pan and cover. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes. Remove the lid and check thickness; if it appears thin, leave lid off and allow to simmer until reduced to your liking, about 15 minutes. Season with salt to taste.
• Meanwhile, place rice into a bowl or pot and fill with water, a few inches above the rice. Shake from side to side with a flat hand and separated fingers while moving up and down. Pour out water and repeat process until water runs clear, about 5 times. Drain in a fine-mesh strainer.
• Combine drained rice, remaining coconut milk , remaining chicken broth, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in your pot and stir. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat to a light simmer, and allow to cook until rice is fluffy and liquid has been absorbed, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat, cover the lid with a towel, and let rest for 20 minutes. Serve with chicken mixture.

GRILLED BANANAS WITH COCONUT STICKY RICE

Steps:

• Rinse the rice, drain in a sieve, and put into a small, heavy saucepan. Add the water, coconut milk, and salt and bring to a near boil over medium-high heat. Give the rice a stir to loosen the grains on the bottom, and then lower the heat to medium. Let cook, stirring occasionally, for 1 to 2 minutes, or until most of the liquid has been absorbed. Decrease the heat to low, cover, and cook for 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and let stand, covered, for 10 minutes to finish cooking.
• Uncover the rice, fluff it with chopsticks or a fork, and transfer it to a bowl. Add the grated coconut and sugar and mix well. Set aside until cool enough to handle.
• For each packet, put a banana leaf rectangle, with the smoother side up and a short side closest to you, on a work surface. Tear off a long, narrow strip, about 1/3 inch wide, and set aside to use later to secure the packet. Put 1/3 cup of the rice on the center of the leaf. Moisten your fingers with water to prevent the rice from sticking to them and then press the rice into a 5-inch circle. Vertically center a banana on top of the rice. Pull up the long sides of the leaf so that they meet in the middle, pressing gently on the rice so it covers the top of the banana. To encase the banana fully, use your fingers to push and pinch the rice at the ends. You may find it easier to do this if you hold the packet in one hand. Do your best to cover the banana in rice, although thinly covered spots are okay. Once you are satisfied the banana is covered as well as possible, roll up the banana in the leaf, cigar style, to create a 12-inch-long, open-ended tube. Fold the ends of the leaf under to close the packet(they will partially overlap), and then tie the ends down securely with the reserved leaf strip. Repeat to make 5 more packets.
• Prepare a medium-hot charcoal fire (you can hold your hand over the rack for only 3 to 4 seconds) or preheat a gas grill to medium-high. Grill the packets, fold side down, for 6 to 8 minutes, or until deeply charred on the underside. Flip each packet over and grill for about 4 minutes longer, or until the second side is lightly charred. Alternatively, position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 500°F. Arrange the packets on a baking sheet and roast, turning once, for 7 to 8 minutes on each side, or until the packets are gently hissing and the leaves are tinged brown and crispy. (The banana leaf packets may be grilled or roasted about 2 hours in advance and kept at room temperature. Reheat in a 350°F oven for about 10 minutes, or until warm, before serving.)
• Let the packets cool for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. If the packets are blackened and unsightly, open them and transfer the rice-coated bananas to dessert plates. Otherwise, enjoy the bananas directly from the packets. Drizzle about 3 tablespoons coconut sauce over each banana and eat with a fork or spoon.
