COCONUT STICKY RICE WITH MANGO
Mangoes are available almost all year long in Thailand and there is never a shortage of rice. Here is a sinful dessert that joins the two. I know rice is rarely considered a dessert food, but this is a delicious treat. Coconut sticky rice can be eaten with any fruit and is great by itself. Thai sweet rice, not jasmine, is used to make this dish. What makes the rice stick together is its high starch content. Sweet rice is actually steamed instead of simmered. I use a traditional bamboo steamer insert for this. In the United States, Manila mangos are in season for 3 to 4 months out of the year, their extra sweetness and soft texture make them a perfect accompaniment to the coconut sticky rice.

THAI COCONUT-MANGO STICKY RICE
I was trying to match a dessert sold at a local Thai restaurant; this is pretty close, but not exact. The real thing uses glutinous rice, but since that is not available in most of the U.S., this can be a variation for people without it.

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.
STICKY RICE WITH MANGO
Also known as "sweet rice" or glutinous rice (despite being gluten free), sticky rice is a large white grain that, when steamed, becomes translucent, shiny and, well, sticky. In French, it's called riz gluant or gluey, not much more attractive. There should be a better word for it, because it really is undoubtedly one of the best things to eat under the sun.

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.

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.

Steps:
- A day ahead, wash the rice with plenty of cold water, then drain and tip it into a bowl. Pour over enough cold water to more than cover it, then leave to soak overnight.
- Make the mango sauce. Liquidise the mango flesh with the orange juice, lime juice and sugar. Taste and add a little extra sugar or lime juice if necessary. Pass through a fine sieve, then chill if making ahead.
- Drain the rice, transfer to a steamer and steam for 25-30 mins until soft and tender, making sure the water doesn't boil dry. Simmer the coconut milk with 85g of the sugar for 1 min. Pour in the lime juice, stir in the steamed rice, then leave, covered, for 5 mins until it has a thick, creamy consistency. Check for sweetness, adding more sugar to taste if needed. Cool slightly, about 10 mins, until tepid and holding its shape. The rice is best served slightly warm, as the longer it is left, the firmer and sticker it becomes.
- For each serving, place a 6.5cm diameter x 3.5cm tall ring mould in the middle of a large plate. Spoon in one-sixth of the sticky rice. Drizzle a little mango sauce on the plate around the rice. Arrange a few slices of mango on the sauce and lay a few on top of the rice with a sprinkling of lime zest. Spoon around some passion fruit seeds and juice. Scatter over a few mint leaves. Serve the remaining mango sauce separately.

Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe mangoes. This will ensure the best flavor and texture in your sticky rice.
- Soak the sticky rice for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help it to cook evenly and prevent it from becoming mushy.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot to cook the sticky rice. This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the rice from burning.
- Do not stir the sticky rice while it is cooking. This will prevent it from becoming sticky and clumpy.
- Once the sticky rice is cooked, let it cool for a few minutes before serving. This will make it easier to handle and will prevent it from sticking to your hands.
- Serve the sticky rice with your favorite toppings, such as mango, coconut cream, or black beans.
