Cooking Tools

Bain Marie or Steamer basket/ sticky rice steamer

Directions

Before you prepare for cooking the rice, you will need to do a few step prior.  Repeatedly rinse 5x the rice with cool water, then place the rice in a mixing bowl and fill with water until rice is submerged. allow the rice to soak for at least 12 hours prior to cooking. The following day, drain the rice in a fine mesh basket. Prepare your steamer with a cheesecloth where your rice will sit upon evenly. make sure to put enough  water on the bottom portion of the Bain Marie but not to touch the bottom of the rice. (The rice will not be cooking in the water, but will cook by the steam). Steam the rice for about 40 minutes, while the rice is cooking, in a saucepan, simmer the coconut milk, coconut cream and sugar until melted. once rice is cooked, transfer the cooked rice in to the coconut milk mixture and mix.  cook an additional 5 minutes until the rice absorbs most of the milk, remove from heat and place lid on top until rice absorbs rest of the liquid. Serve will fresh mango slices and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
