Hot Rice Cereal With Dried Mango And Toasted Coconut Recipes

STEAMED GLUTINOUS RICE WITH COCONUT AND MANGO

Steps:

• Wash rice until water is clear. Cover rice with cold water and vanilla extract and soak overnight. Drain rice and place in steamer lined with banana leaf or cheesecloth. If using leaf, make sure there is a 2 to 3-inch circle in the middle and small holes punched out. This will allow steam to pass through the leaf. Steam on high heat for 45 minutes, rice should be fully cooked but not mushy. Transfer hot rice to a large bowl and add peppercorns, mango and coconut. Serve while hot. Garnish with toasted coconut.

MICROWAVE COCONUT STICKY RICE WITH MANGO

Steps:

• In a dry skillet, toast the coconut over medium-low heat, stirring, until lightly browned and fragrant, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool (don't leave it in the skillet or it might burn).
• Place the sticky rice in a microwave-safe bowl and cover with 1¾ cups warm water. Let soak for at least 10 minutes or up to 1 hour. Cover the bowl with an upside-down plate or plastic wrap and microwave on high for 3 minutes. Carefully stir the rice from top to bottom, then cover and cook the rice for another 3 minutes. Repeat the process, stirring and microwaving 3 minutes at a time, until all the water has been absorbed and the rice has turned translucent (this means it's cooked). Set aside to cool slightly.
• In a medium saucepan, bring the coconut milk to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer, add the sugar and salt, and stir until they dissolve. Remove from the heat, pour the hot coconut milk over the warm sticky rice, and stir to combine. Let sit for 5 minutes so the rice can absorb the coconut milk.
• Transfer to a serving bowl and top with the toasted coconut. Serve with sliced mango. If desired, garnish with sesame seeds and fresh mint.
