Ingredients

Coconut cream sauce:

  • 1/2 cup full-fat coconut milk rest of the can from the rice
  • 2 Tablespoons white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 Tablespoon water

Instructions

  • Rinse the rice until the water runs clear.
  • Add the rice to a sauce pan with the 1 1/2 cups of water and bring to a low boil.
  • Lower the heat, cover, and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes or until the water is absorbed.
  • Meanwhile, combine the 1 cup of coconut milk (shake your can or blend before measuring), 1/4 cup sugar and salt in another sauce pan.
  • Bring to a low boil.
  • Add in the cooked rice to the sweet coconut milk and remove from it heat. Stir, then cover and let cool and thicken for 1 hour.
  • Whisk together the remaining can of the coconut milk and 2 Tablespoons of sugar in a pan over low heat. Whisk together the cornstarch and water then add it to the pan. Simmer until thickened. Set aside to cool.
  • Scoop the rice onto a bowl or plate and serve with the sliced mango. Drizzle the coconut sauce on top and garnish with sesame seeds.

Notes

Storing:
    • Refrigerator -Store the components separately in airtight containers for 1-2 days.
    • Reheating - To reheat the rice, add a teaspoon or 2 of water and microwave for 20-30 seconds. Warm the sauce in a saucepan on low or the microwave in 5-second intervals until warm.
    • *Do not freeze* - The textures and flavors will not do well frozen. Just stick to refrigerating or enjoying it fresh!
