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.

THAI COCONUT BLACK STICKY RICE
Thai black rice (also called black sticky rice or black glutinous rice) is a long grain, dark purple rice. When cooked, the grains stick together, and make a perfect base for this coconut rice pudding. It's usually available at Asian markets, but, if you can't get it, use any kind that's sticky. Fluffy rices won't really work very well. I like to use raw (turbinado) sugar in this, but white or brown will also work.

- Bring to a boil over high heat, then lower heat to just keep a simmer.
- Simmer about 45 minutes, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until rice is tender. Add more water if needed, or pour some off. You want the water level to be just below the level of the rice.

THAI STICKY RICE
In Northern Thailand, sticky rice is essential. Chef Ricker shows you how to steam it to perfection in the traditional way, using a rattan basket. (Plan ahead: the rice needs to be soaked overnight to absorb enough water to stay deliciously chewy.)

Steps:
- Place rice in a large bowl and add enough room-temperature water to cover by 1 inch. Soak at least 4 hours and up to 10. Once rice has soaked, rinse rattan basket to dampen, then set upright in a colander. Rinse cheesecloth to dampen, then line the inside of the rattan basket in an even layer (there will be overhang). Set aside.
- Drain rice by slowly pouring off the water; when most of the water is gone, run the tap gently over the rice to rinse it, letting the water overflow from the bowl. As the tap runs, use your hand to gently stir the rice. The water will be cloudy at first, but it will become almost clear after 2-3 minutes. At that point, drain the rice in the sink using the cloth-lined basket fitted over the colander (discard the rinsing water). Add water to the steamer pot to a depth of 2 inches. Add pandan leaf, then bring water to a boil over high heat, 5 minutes.
- Tie the cheesecloth into a bundle so the rice is completely enveloped. Place the rattan basket on top of the steamer pot. Reduce heat to medium, and place a pot lid that fits snugly inside the steamer directly on top of the rice bundle. Allow the rice to steam for 15 minutes.
- After 15 minutes, remove pot lid. Use tongs to flip the cheesecloth bundle, so the top of the bundle now rests against the bottom of the basket. (Use the lid for assistance if necessary.) Replace the lid and steam for 15 more minutes.
- After a total of 30-35 minutes of steaming, remove rice cooker from heat. Serve immediately, or place rice bundle in an insulated container (such as an ice bucket) to maintain the heat, keeping the container covered until ready to serve, up to 1 hour.

STICKY RICE WITH MANGO THAI DESSERT
Now you can have that delicious dessert dish found in Thai restaurants--any time you want it--and fast and easy too. Adapted from Thai Food Tonight. I tweaked their quantities and method just a bit to make things even faster and easier. Watch their step-by-step video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AxmNsQ_T0oc This is just heavenly- very subtle and balanced. It's like eating flowers. :-)

Steps:
- Tips: If done in a 2+ quart microwavable casserole with a lid, you can go from start to table really quickly, easily, and with minimal cleanup. To speed things up even further, make your sauces and prep your fruit while your rice is soaking/cooking. Be sure to use glutinous rice, which can be found at Asian markets. It will be labeled "glutinous rice" and/or "sweet rice". Good ripe mangoes are a MUST, so be sure you can find them first, before you go any further.
- Soak raw rice in plenty of water for 30 minutes. Rinse the rice by stirring it with your fingers, draining, and refilling with water. Stir-drain-refill a couple or three times, then finally drain most of the water away until the rice is covered by about a quarter inch of water. Microwave on high, covered, for ten minutes.
- Shake a 13.5 ounce can of coconut milk well before opening then divide in half: pour one half into a bowl or tall glass to make the rice sauce, and keep the other half in the can to make the cream sauce. Or the other way 'round, it doesn't matter :-).
- Rice sauce: Stir a cup of sugar and pinch of salt into the coconut milk until dissolved. Pour *most* of the mixture over the cooked rice and stir gently but thoroughly to blend (I feel that this makes a little too much sauce so I use about 3/4 of it and discard the remainder.) The rice/sauce mixture will be soupy while hot but will firm up well once cooled. If you want to add mango chunks to the whole dish, now is the time to stir them inches If you want to make individual serving cups, set them up now and chill to firm.
- Cream sauce: Stir the corn starch, salt, and sugar into the other half can of coconut milk. Heat in a sauce pan, uncovered, on the stove top until bubbling, stirring frequently to avoid scorching.
- Serving notes: This makes a glorious platter with the fruit arranged around a big mound of rice with the cream sauce drizzled over the top, or you can fancy it up by presenting individual dishes. If I'm making this for a party I serve it in the same covered casserole dish that I cooked it in, stirring the mango chunks into the rice and offering the cream sauce on the side. That way everyone gets plenty of mango and sauce instead of just the first guests. However you choose to serve it, it's a hit.

Steps:
- Make sure the whole milk, coconut milk, and heavy cream are well chilled.
- In a large bowl combine the whole milk, coconut milk, and heavy cream.
- Add the vanilla extract.
- Stir in the granulated sugar until it is dissolved.
- Then, stir in the mango puree until well blended.
- Pour everything into your ice cream maker (I use a Cuisinart) and mix for at least 30-45 minutes.
- Once ice cream resembles soft serve pour it into a freezer safe container. I can't help but sample what I made but it always taste better the next day after it has been in the freezer over night.
- It may not be the most decadent ice cream like you get at Ben and Jerry's but making a frozen custard is just not quick enough for me. This recipe can take as little as hour while a custard based recipe can take three times that, waiting for the custard to cool.

THAI MANGO STICKY RICE DESSERT (KHAO NIAOW MA MUANG) RECIPE - (4/5)
Provided by Chautel

Steps:
- Soak rice in 1 cup water for 20 to 30 minutes. Do not drain the rice. Add 1/2 cup more water, plus 1/2 can coconut milk, salt, and 1 tablespoon brown sugar. Stir well. Bring to a gentle boil, then partially cover with a lid (leaving some room for steam to escape). Reduce heat to medium-low, or just until you get a gentle simmer. Simmer 20 to 30 minutes, or until coconut water has been absorbed by the rice. Turn off the heat, but leave the pot on the burner with the lid on tight. Allow to sit for 5 to 10 minutes. To make the sauce, warm (do not boil) the rest of the can of coconut milk over medium-low heat (5 minutes). Add 3 tablespoons brown sugar, stirring to dissolve. Taste-test sauce for sweetness, adding more sugar if desired. (Note that it will taste less sweet when added to the rice.) Prepare mango by cutting it open and slicing into bite-size pieces. Scoop some warm rice into each serving bowl, then drizzle lots of the sweet coconut sauce over. It should look like an English pudding with custard sauce, with the rice swimming in sauce. Arrange mango slices on the rice and drizzle over more sauce. Enjoy!
THAI LARB (LARB MOO ลาบหมู) WITH STICKY RICE RECIPE - (4.3/5)
Provided by á-3145
Number Of Ingredients 13
Steps:
- Toasted sticky rice (khao kua) First step is to make the toasted rice (khao kua ข้าวคั่ว). Heat a frying pan on low heat, toss in the uncooked Thai sticky rice (no oil). Stir continuously, kind of like you're roasting peanuts or coffee. Toast the rice until it turns from white to golden yellow, almost to the point where it looks like brown wheat. It will also be very fragrant and smell almost like popcorn. It took me about 15 minutes or so. Once the rice is finished toasting, and has cooled off a bit, put it into your stone mortar and pestle. Pound the rice until it turns into a coarse powder (a blender or food processor will also work fine). Put your toasted sticky rice powder in a bowl aside. Larb recipe Add 300 grams of minced pork to a small sized saucepan with a handle. Fry the pork, breaking it into small minced pieces, until it's fully cooked all the way through. For best flavor, leave all the oils that come out (but if you want to be healthier, you can also drain the pork oil, and add in a splash of water instead). Take the pork off the heat. Leaving the pork in the same pot, add 1 heaping tablespoon of the toasted rice powder into the pork. Also toss in ½ - 1 tablespoon of chili flakes. Add a pinch of sugar, ½ tablespoon of fish sauce, and squeeze in the juice from 1 - 2 limes (I used about 1 ½ full limes, but I like it quite sour). Give the pork and the seasoning a quick stir. Peel and slice the shallots, finely mince about 5 green onions and a few culantro leaves (if you have them), and just pluck about 20 or so mint leaves off the stem. Throw everything into the saucepan with the pork. Give the larb moo a good mix, making sure all the spices and dressing coats the pork. Taste test. See if it needs more fish sauce for saltiness, lime juice, or chili flakes. Get it the way you want it. Dish it out onto a plate and garnish with more mint leaves, Thai sweet basil, and culantro. Notes In Thailand, larb moo (ลาบหมู) is normally eaten along with a plate of Thai sticky rice and accompanied by a plate of som tam (green papaya salad ส้มตำ).
Tips:
- Soak the rice: Soaking the rice for at least 4 hours (or overnight) helps to soften the grains and make them more pliable, resulting in a more tender and sticky texture.
- Use the right kind of rice: Glutinous rice, also known as sticky rice or sweet rice, is the key ingredient in this dish. It has a high starch content that gives it its sticky texture when cooked.
- Cook the rice properly: Sticky rice is typically cooked in a steamer or rice cooker. Be sure to follow the instructions on your appliance to ensure that the rice is cooked through.
- Don't stir the rice: Once the rice is cooking, avoid stirring it. Stirring can break up the grains and make the rice less sticky.
- Serve the rice warm: Sticky rice is best served warm, as it tends to harden when it cools.
Conclusion:
Thai sticky rice is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a main course or a side dish. It is a popular choice for special occasions and holidays. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make this dish at home. So next time you're looking for something new and exciting to try, give Thai sticky rice a try. You won't be disappointed!
