Thai Coconut-Mango Sticky Rice

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup basmati rice or jasmine rice or other sweet asian rice

• 1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk (you can use the light kind if you want, it just makes it a little less rich)
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 mango, sliced

Directions

1. 1

   Rice: Cook rice according to package directions, but substitute coconut milk for half of the water, and add half the sugar.

2. 2

   It should be fairly dry when you finish cooking it, without any liquid visible in the pot.

3. 3

   Sauce: In a medium saucepan, boil the rest of the coconut milk with the second half of the sugar.

4. 4

   Keep this at a full boil until the rice is cooked, or until it reaches a thick, syrupy consistency.

5. 5

   Presentation: Arrange the cooked coconut rice in a bowl or plate with the mango slices in some kind of pretty formation and dribble a bit of the sauce over the whole thing.
