Thai Mango Glutinous Rice


Hi

I haven’t been baking new recipes lately because I’m experimenting of making bread now.  Kneading the dough to correct texture and testing out the freshness of the yeast whether they are active or dead.  They are totally different experiences from baking cakes.  Haha!

I was at the fruit stall on Sunday and saw many mangoes.  The fruiterer told me it is mango season now and what came into my mind immediately was my favourite Thai dessert!  Coincidentally, the theme for Nov Thumbs Up is Mango so I decided I should try making my own mango glutinous rice.
This is not difficult to make at all.  I adapted the recipe from Rasa Malaysia but I tweaked the method a bit.

This is such a simple recipe and it’s so delicious!  The sticky warm, sweet and slightly salty rice, drenched in coconut milk and eat them spoonful by spoonful with the mango.  
Wow! It is so very scrumptious.
I decided I should use this beautiful Clover Condiment Bowls to serve my mango glutinous rice to my husband and sons.

Thanks Karen (Luvswesavory) for this beautiful Clover Condiment Bowls that was given to all of us during our last meet-up.  It was my pleasure meeting you in person!  

HAPPY COOKING!

INGREDIENTS
1 cup       Glutinous rice
2-3           Pandan (screwpine) leaves.  Tied into a knot.
2              Mangoes
1 cup       Coconut milk
(I used 100ml, dilute it with 70ml of water to cook together with the rice and the rest for pouring over the rice)
½ tsp       Salt
55g         Sugar
1 tbsp      Toasted sesame seeds
                Banana leaf for steaming (I skipped)       

 METHOD
(1)Soak the glutinous rice for at least 8 hours or overnight.

(2)Wash and drain the glutinous rice.  Pour 100ml coconut milk and 100ml water into the glutinous rice.  Steam the glutinous rice for about 20-25 minutes or until it is smooth and sticky.

(3)While the glutinous rice is cooking, cut the mangoes into small cubes and chill in the refrigerator until use.

(4)In a sauce pan, heat up the balance coconut milk over low heat.  Add in the salt and sugar.  Keep stirring until sugar is dissolved.  

(5)Place the glutinous rice on a serving plate.  Pour the heated coconut milk over the glutinous rice.  Sprinkled the toasted sesame seeds over it and served with the cut mangoes.



But I’m submitting this post to Little Thumbs Up, which is organised by Zoe (Bake For Happy Kids); Doreen(My little favourite DIY) and for November, the theme is MANGO and it is hosted by Jozelyn Ng (Spice up My Kitchen)
