My mom has decided to take up Thai cooking, which she is really good at. She is always trying to get me to staty longer when I visit and when she says Thai, I am there! One of the recipes that she makes is similar to our favorite dessert from a resturant up there. It is so good and so easy, and for my health food friends and family I am sure that if you used brown rice instead, it would be awesome!
So here goes:
2 cups cooked sticky rice
While rice is cooking:
Take 2 cups of coconut milk
1 cup sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
Bring to a boil and then let cool.
Once your rice is done, transfer it to a metal bowl (why?? I don't really know, this is what my mom does).
Add your coconut mixture to the rice, cover and let cool about an hour. I put my in the fridge.
When your hour is almost up make your topping:
1/2 c. coconut milk
dash of salt (this is optional, I think it is too salty if you add salt to both)
1 T. sugar
Optional: 1 tsp. tapioca starch (to make it thicker)
Warm this on the stove, until almost boiling, not too hot.
Cut up about 3 ripe mangoes
Serve with rice on the bottom, sliced mangoes and then the sauce on top.
Yummay! Enjoy!
