Thai Sweet Rice with Mango

This delicious Thai dessert will satisfy both your tummy and your taste buds!

Ingredients

1 cup sticky rice
1 3/4 cups water
pinch of salt
3/4 cup coconut milk
1/2 teaspoon stevia (or 1 tablespoon sugar)
1 ripe mango, refrigerated*

*I like to use the smaller yellow mangoes for their smoother texture and sweet flavor, although any ripe mango will do.

Soak the rice in the water for at least 30 minutes in a rice cooker. Add a pinch of salt and 1/4 cup coconut milk, and turn the rice cooker on.

After the rice cooker stops, taste the rice. If it is not soft and chewy, add a little more water and turn it on again.

Once the rice is finished cooking, allow it to sit on the "warm" setting while you prepare the sweet coconut milk and the mango. Mix the stevia in with the coconut milk and stir over medium-low heat until warm. (Do not boil it.)

Dish the rice and pour sweet milk over it. Slice up the mango and lay it on top. Serve warm with chilled mango and enjoy!
