Sweet Sticky Rice

1½ cups white glutinous rice

1illustration cups canned coconut milk

½ cup granulated sugar

½ teaspoon salt

  1. Place the rice in a bowl and add enough water to completely cover the rice. Soak for at least 4 hours or overnight. Drain.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. To serve, place in small bowls or on plates. Garnish with mangoes, papayas, or other tropical fruit.
