I am in love with Thai food. I especially love this dessert. I finally found a recipe for it somewhere on the internet (I am so bad at remembering where I find thing.) Josh and I went through a kick where we would make it just about every night. The kids aren't that into it (more for us) so we would make it after they went to be and eat it while watching "24" "Lost" etc. Good memories. There are a lot more complicated recipes for this rice out there, but this one is really good and way easier than any else I have seen.
1 cup sticky rice (or just use regular medium or short grain rice-long grain will not get as sticky, but still tastes good)
1 can coconut milk
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 tsp salt
mango or peaches (but mango tastes best)
Cover rice with cold water and rinse, repeat until water runs clear, about three times.
In medium pan, bring 1 3/4 cups of water to a boil. Add rice and stir briefly. reduce heat to low simmer and cover. Cook 20-25 minutes (I think 20 is good, 25 might burn)or until all of the water is absorbed.
In another pan combine coconut milk, sugar, and salt. Boil for 3 minutes stirring frequently. Remove from heat.
Mix the milk mixture and rice together. Stir well.
Cover top of rice directly with aluminum foil. Let rest for 30 minutes at room temperature. Serve with cubed mango.
