Thai Sticky Black Rice Pudding Recipes

THAI BLACK STICKY RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Place drained, soaked rice in a pot together with brown sugar, salt, 1 can of coconut milk, and water.
• Boil half-covered until the liquid has been absorbed and the rice is soft to chew-about 45 to 50 minutes. (If necessary, add 1 cup more water and continue cooking until rice is tender.)
• When rice is done cooking, allow it to cool slightly. Preheat oven to 350 F.
• Add the remaining 1/2 can coconut milk plus the eggs. Mix thoroughly. Check the taste, adding a little more sugar if needed.
• Pour this mixture into one large baking dish, or divide up into individual ramekins. Cover with tin foil (or a lid if using a baking dish).
• Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and either serve warm or place in the refrigerator and serve cold.
• When serving, add a dollop of coconut cream on top (the solid cream from the top of a can of thick coconut milk), or whipped cream.

BLACK RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• Bring rice, 3 cups water, and 1/4 teaspoon salt to a boil in a 3- to 4-quart heavy saucepan, then reduce heat to low and simmer, covered with a tight-fitting lid, 45 minutes (rice will be cooked but still wet). Stir in sugar, a scant 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1 1/2 cups coconut milk and bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until mixture is thick and rice is tender but still slightly chewy, about 30 minutes.
• Remove from heat and cool to warm or room temperature, stirring occasionally, at least 30 minutes. Just before serving, stir pudding and divide among 8 bowls. Stir remaining coconut milk and drizzle over pudding.

THAI BLACK STICKY RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• Soak rice: Place both rices in a bowl and cover with water (5cm / 2" above). Soak for 4 hours (up to 12 hours).
• Strain the rice and add it to a small pot or large saucepan.
• Pandan leaves: Add the knotted pandan leaves.
• Simmer 30 minutes: Add 4 cups of cold water. Bring to boil. Turn stove down to low so it's simmering very gently (small, slow little bubbles). Simmer 30 minutes (no lid), stirring frequently for the last 15 minutes and almost constantly towards the end (so the base does not catch).
• Consistency: Rice should be soft / fully cooked through, water reduced, and sauce should be creamy not watery (starch from rice thickens water).
• Add sugar: Stir in sugar and salt until it dissolves (~20 seconds).
• Ladle into bowls - it should ooze slowly, not be runny nor so thick it stays in a mound, see video for consistency. (If it's too thick, add a touch of water and stir).
• Toppings: Mix coconut cream with salt. Drizzle onto rice pudding. Top with toasted coconut and mango if using. Serve immediately.
