Ingredients

Ingredients for Mango and coconut milk sticky rice

1 ripe mango
250 g of glutinous rice available in Asian food shops
200 ml of coconut milk
60 g of cane sugar
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1 sheet of pandanus If you want to buy them as an optional extra, you can find them in Asian food shops in the fresh food section.

Instructions

Preparation of the glutinous rice with mango and coconut milk

To be done the day before:

Rinse the glutinous rice several times with cold water.
In a large container, soak the rice in a good amount of water (it will swell)

After the overnight soak :

Rinse and drain the sticky rice.
Steam for 25 to 30 minutes.
After 15 minutes, gently stir the glutinous rice to make sure it cooks evenly.
In a saucepan, heat the coconut milk with the pandanus leaf cut into large pieces (this is just to infuse it, we remove it afterwards), over medium heat.
Add the sugar and salt.
Stir well and stop cooking as soon as it boils.
When the glutinous rice is cooked, put it in a container.
Gently pour 2/3 of the coconut milk (without the pieces of the pandanus leaf) over the rice.
Stir gently so that the rice absorbs the coconut milk.
Leave to stand for a quarter of an hour.
Peel the mango and cut it into strips or pieces.
Place a portion of rice next to the mango portion.
Just before serving, pour the remaining coconut milk over the sticky rice.

Notes

And that's it, bon appetit!
