Mango Infused Jasmine Rice Recipes

MANGO INFUSED JASMINE RICE

Steps:

• Peel and core mangoes.
• Dice 1 mango into 1/4-inch cubes and set aside.
• Puree the other mango in a food processor with sugar and set aside.
• Place water and 1 cup coconut milk in pan with rice.
• Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
• When the rice reaches a boil, stir it one last time.
• DO NOT stir again.
• Place a clean dish towel between pot and lid, laying excess toweling on top of lid. (wrap lid in towel).
• Wrapping the lid in the towel will catch the condensation that accumulates on the underside of the lid and drips back down into the rice.
• This will give you nice, fluffy rice that separates easily.
• Turn the heat down to Low and cook for 20-25 minutes, until ALL of the liquid has absorbed.
• DON'T lift that lid until the 20 minute mark has passed.
• Stir in pureed mango.
• Remove from stove.
• Stir in diced mangoes and served garnished with the toasted black sesame seeds.

STICKY RICE WITH MANGO

Steps:

• In a bowl wash rice well in several changes of cold water until water is clear. Soak rice in cold water to cover overnight.
• Drain rice well in a sieve. Set sieve over a large deep saucepan of simmering water (sieve should not touch water) and steam rice, covered with a kitchen towel and a lid, 30 to 40 minutes, or until tender (check water level in pan occasionally, adding more water if necessary).
• While rice is cooking, in a small saucepan bring 1 cup coconut milk to a boil with 1/3 cup sugar and salt, stirring until sugar is dissolved, and remove from heat. Keep mixture warm.
• Transfer cooked rice to a bowl and stir in coconut-milk mixture. Let rice stand, covered, 30 minutes, or until coconut-milk mixture is absorbed. Rice may be prepared up to this point 2 hours ahead and kept covered at room temperature.
• While rice is standing, in cleaned small pan slowly boil remaining 1/3 cup coconut milk with remaining 3 tablespoons sugar, stirring occasionally, 1 minute. Transfer sauce to a small bowl and chill until cool and thickened slightly.
• To serve, mold 1/4 cup servings of sticky rice on dessert plates. Drizzle desserts with sauce and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Divide mango slices among plates.
