Lao Sticky Rice Mango

Servings: 6

Ingredients:

3 c Glutinous rice

Seasonings:

1 1/2 c Coconut cream

1/2 c Sugar

1 t Salt

Sauce:

1 1/4 c Coconut cream

2 tb Sugar

1/4 ts Salt

6 Ripe mangoes, well chilled

2 tb Sesame seeds, toasted

Cooking Instructions:

Soak the rice in cold water for 2 hours. Drain. Line a steamer with cheesecloth, heat steamer and lay rice on the cheesecloth. Steam for 30 minutes or until cooked through. The rice will become glossy. Mix the Seasonings ingredients in a large bowl and gently mix in the hot steamed rice. Cover tightly and let soak for 30 minutes to absorb the coconut flavour. Blend the Sauce ingredients in a pot and heat until it just reaches the boiling point. Let cool. Peel the mangoes, slice lengthwise and remove the pits. Divide the rice among 6 plates. Place mango slices on top and cover with the sauce. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds and serve.
