Sticky Rice with Mangoes


Description:
Lee requested this one.

Apart from deep fried icecream I have to confess I have not tried many Asian-style desserts as I rarely order them when dining out.

This was delicious and easy to make.

Ingredients:
1½ cups of glutinous (short-grained) rice, soaked overnight
3 tablespoons palm sugar
3 tablespoons boiling water
3 large ripe mangoes, skin removed & sliced into wedges
400 ml coconut cream

Directions:
1. Drain rice and place in a foil lined steamer. Add fresh water to cover by about 1.5cm and steam for 30 minutes until cooked.


we have a large steamer that can sit over our wok. They come in various sizes and are very cheap at the Asian market

2. Press the steamed rice firmly into an oiled mould (I used a pie dish) and leave until cool.

3. Dissolve palm sugar in the boiling water.

4. Cut the rice into slices (or wedges) with several slices of mango on the side. Pour on the coconut cream and then the palm sugar.

    I assumed that categorization was some sort of fluke;) ::smiles::

    I definitely prefer a savoury snack to a sweet one any day...although in the last 12 months I have been experimenting with a few more desserts, cakes and biscuits.

    I always think it's nice when entertaining to be able to offer my guests a dessert that compliments the main meal.
