Thai Sticky Rice With Nam Pla And Coconut Milk Recipes

Steps:

• Rinse sweet rice until water runs clear. Soak rice in warm water, 2 to 4 hours. Drain.
• Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Line the steamer with cheese cloth and spoon rice into cheese cloth; steam until thoroughly cooked, about 20 minutes. Remove steamer from heat and transfer rice to a bowl.
• Mix coconut milk, sugar, and salt together in a saucepan; bring to a simmer. Pour 3/4 of the coconut milk mixture over rice; cover bowl and let sit for 5 minutes.
• Pour remaining coconut milk mixture over rice and top with mango slices.

Steps:

• Rinse rice. Soak it in water to cover for at least 1 hr and up to 24.
• Drain, then wrap in cheesecloth. Put in a steamer above boiling water. Steam for about 30 minutes until tender.
• Toss cooked rice with coconut milk and nam pla. Rewrap and steam (or microwave) for 5 more minutes to reheat.

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.
