Mango with Sticky Rice

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

3 to 4 ripe mangoes, chilled
3 cups cooked sticky rice
1 cup coconut milk
2 to 4 tablespoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions:

Rinse mangoes and chill them whole. Peel and slice mangoes just before serving to keep the fresh sweet taste. In a saucepan combine sticky rice and coconut milk and cook on medium heat for 5 minutes or until thick. Stir in vegan sugar and salt. The amount of sugar depends on the sweetness of the mangoes. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for two minutes. Serve warm on a platter with chilled mango slices arranged around the edge. Makes 4 to 6 servings. (Note: mold the rice-coconut-milk mixture in a bowl, then invert and place on a large round serving platter. Remove bowl. Arrange sliced mangoes all around. If possible, garnish with some fresh flowers. -- CMT).

Enjoy,

Sticky rice is a very short-grained variety. You can buy it in Oriental groceries; its sometimes called sweet rice as well. It has a marvelous chewy texture and flavor, and makes for great finger-food. To cook sticky rice, soak it for several hours overnight and then drain and steam it. If you cook immersed in water like regular long-grained rice, you will have a gluey mess on your hands. The rice *must* be drained before you steam it. Thais make it in these neat bamboo contraptions; alternatively, I have cookbooks that recommend using a double boiler. I don't have a double boiler, so I put the drained, soaked rice in the metal bowl of my rice cooker, put the bowl in a big pot with water, cover the pot, and steam til its done. I've been told microwaving also works great, but since I don't have a microwave I've never tried that.

Please!!! Would someone please tell me the difference between sticky rice and plain white rice? Where do I find sticky rice?

Yes they are Mung beans, but you have to roast them and I don't know how? Huh

the sticky rice is made out of sweet rice found at Asian Markets

Being part Philippino, I had the joy of eating sticky rice (plain sweet rice) as a kid. This is my favorite desert. And you can cook it like regular rice, you just have to keep stirring it so it doesn't turn into a giant lump - it does make it harder.
