Mango Sticky Rice Recipe

INGREDIENTS (serves 6)
2 mangoes
4 cups of sticky rice (not cooked) soaked in water for between 3hrs or overnight
2 cups thick coconut milk
1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sesame seeds roasted

SAUCE INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup thin coconut milk
2 tablespoons sugar
pinch of salt

METHOD
Steam the soaked sticky rice for 15-20 minutes until it is cooked. Mix the thick coconut milk, sugar and salt together. Once the rice is cooked put it in a bowl and while it is still hot add the coconut milk, sugar and salt mixture and combine thoroughly. Leave to rest for about 30-50 minutes so that the rice has time to absorb the coconut milk. Mix the sauce ingredients together and set aside.

When you are ready to serve the dessert, divide the sticky rice into 6 portions and put in seperate bowls. Peel the mangoes and slice thinly. Put the mango slices on top of the sweet sticky rice. Then pour the thin coconut milk sauce over the mangoes and sprinkle the sesame seeds on top and serve.

Note: the sweet sticky rice can be made ahead of time but should be eaten on the same day
