Thai Coconut Mango Sticky Rice

---

I was trying to match a dessert sold at a local thai restaurant; this is pretty close, but not exact. The real thing uses glutinous rice, but since that is not available in most of the u.s., this can be a variation for people without it.

Steps

---

Rice: cook rice according to package directions , but substitute coconut milk for half of the water , and add half the sugar.

---

It should be fairly dry when you finish cooking it , without any liquid visible in the pot.

---

Sauce: in a medium saucepan , boil the rest of the coconut milk with the second half of the sugar.

---

Keep this at a full boil until the rice is cooked , or until it reaches a thick , syrupy consistency.

---

Presentation: arrange the cooked coconut rice in a bowl or plate with the mango slices in some kind of pretty formation and dribble a bit of the sauce over the whole thing.
