Sweet Sticky Rice
1½ cups white glutinous rice
1
cups canned coconut milk
½ cup granulated sugar
½ teaspoon salt
- Place the rice in a bowl and add enough water to completely cover the rice. Soak for at least 4 hours or overnight. Drain.
- Line a steamer basket with wet cheesecloth. Spread the rice evenly over the cheesecloth. Place the container over rapidly boiling water. Cover and steam until tender, about 25 minutes; set aside.
- In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the coconut milk, sugar, and salt and heat on medium-high. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. Pour over the rice, stir to combine, and let rest for 30 minutes.
- To serve, place in small bowls or on plates. Garnish with mangoes, papayas, or other tropical fruit.
