PURPLE STICKY RICE RECIPES

Steps:

• Place both rices in a colander and rinse several times under cold running water until water runs clear. Drain well. Transfer to a medium bowl; pour in cold water to cover by 2". Cover and chill 12 hours.
• Line a metal steamer basket with cheesecloth (you need enough to wrap around rice). Pour water into a medium pot to come 2" up sides, then set basket inside. Drain rice and place inside basket; bring cheesecloth up and over rice to cover. Set pot over medium heat. Cover and steam rice until tender, 20–25 minutes.

Steps:

• Whisk 1/2 cup coconut milk, sugar, and salt together in a bowl until sugar dissolves and coconut sauce is smooth.
• Combine rice, water, 1/4 cup coconut milk, and 1 tablespoon shredded coconut in a saucepan over medium heat; simmer, stirring frequently, for 10 minutes. Decrease heat to low and cook until rice is sticky and soft, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Pour 1/2 of the coconut sauce over rice; stir and fluff with a fork. Add remaining coconut sauce to rice mixture and stir well. Remove saucepan from heat and let stand until most of the liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes.
• Cook and stir remaining shredded coconut in a skillet over medium-low heat until lightly toasted, about 5 minutes.
• Ladle about 1/2 cup rice mixture into each serving bowl or plate. Arrange 4 to 5 slices mango on each serving; sprinkle toasted coconut over mango.
