After a spicy meal, have a light, fruity bite of coconut rice and mango. This isn\u2019t how Thai sticky rice is traditionally made, but it is still delicious! Sushi rice takes on a hint of coconut flavor to complement the sweet mango, and you\u2019ll use the rest of the coconut milk to make a creamy sauce. The optional peanuts add crunch.<\/p>\n
Ingredients
\n 1 15-ounce can of coconut milk, divided
\n 1 pinch salt
\n 1 cup sushi rice, rinsed
\n 1 tablespoon coconut sugar or brown sugar
\n 1 large, ripe mango
\n Chopped roasted peanuts or cashews (optional)<\/p>\n
Preparation
\n 1. Rinse the rice. Open the coconut milk, scoop the thickest part out and reserve.
\n 2. Measure \u00bd cup of the remaining thinner milk and put it in a small pot. Add 1 cup of water, a pinch of salt and the sushi rice and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to lowest setting, and simmer until water is absorbed. Let stand to steam off heat for 5 minutes. Let cool.
\n 3. In a small saucepan, combine remaining thick and thin coconut milk and sugar and bring to a boil to reduce to \u00be cup. Cool completely.
\n 4. Peel mango and slice the flesh from the pit. Dice the flesh in \u00bd-inch cubes. Lightly oil 6 ramekins. Divide the mango between the ramekins, then press about \u2154 cup of rice in each. Unmold onto individual plates and pour about 2 tablespoons of coconut sauce over the tops.
\n 5. Garnish with peanuts or cashews.<\/p>\n
Serving Suggestion
\nServe with a spicy tropical or Thai-inspired meal.<\/p>\n
