Coconut - Gluten
Ingredients
- 1 cup glutinous rice (also known as sweet rice or sticky rice)
- 2 ripe mangoes
- 1 can full
- fat coconut milk
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (or a vegan alternative, such as agave syrup)
- 1 tablespoon tapioca starch
- Pinch of salt
- Optional: Toasted coconut flakes and sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Rinse the glutinous rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then soak it in water for at least 2 hours or overnight to achieve a perfect sticky texture.
- Drain the soaked rice and steam it in a steamer basket or a covered pot with a trivet for 20 25 minutes, or until cooked through. Set aside to cool.
- In a small saucepan, combine the coconut milk, sugar, and a pinch of salt over medium heat. Stir continuously until the sugar dissolves, then add the tapioca starch mixed with 1 tablespoon of water, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Cook for 2 3 minutes, or until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and let it cool.
- Peel and slice the mangoes into thin, long strips. Set aside.
