Mango Sticky Rice Rolls

Ingredients

• 1 cup glutinous rice (soaked in room temp water for 30 minutes and washed)
• 1 cup water (for cooking the rice)
• 0.5 cup full fat coconut milk (the liquid portion from the can)
• 3 tbsp sugar
• 0.5 cup coconut cream (skimmed from the top of the coconut milk can; for dipping)
• 2 ripe mango (sliced)
• sesame seeds (sprinkle (listed as sesame oil in ingredients but used as seeds in steps/video))
• 4 pcs rice paper

Steps

1. 1

   In a medium bowl, soak your glutinous rice in room temperature water for 30 minutes.

2. 2

   Wash the rice a few times until the water runs clear, then drain.

3. 3

   Cook the rice in a rice cooker or on the stove. If using the stove, place rice and 1 cup of water in a pot and turn heat to high. Once bubbling, close the lid and simmer until the water has been fully absorbed, roughly 12-15 minutes.

4. 4

   Open a can of full fat coconut milk and skim the thick top layer of coconut cream into a small bowl. Set this aside to use as a dipping sauce later.

5. 5

   Pour 1/2 cup of the remaining coconut milk into a saucepan and add 3 tablespoons of sugar. Stir over heat until the sugar is dissolved and the milk is heated thoroughly.

6. 6

   Once the rice is fully cooked, pour the hot coconut milk mixture over the sticky rice and mix well.

7. 7

   Leave the rice covered for 20 minutes so the coconut milk gets fully absorbed.

8. 8

   Quickly dip a rice paper sheet into a shallow bowl of warm water and lay it flat on a large plate.

9. 9

   Sprinkle sesame seeds onto the rice paper, followed by a few slices of mango, then a portion of the coconut sticky rice.

10. 10

    Fold in the sides of the rice paper, then fold up from the bottom and roll up completely like a burrito.

11. 11

    Repeat with the remaining rice paper sheets and serve with the reserved coconut cream as a dipping sauce.

Notes

The author mentions this recipe is inspired by a cooking class in Thailand. Note: The ingredient list mentions 'sesame oil' but the instructions and video show 'sesame seeds' being sprinkled inside the roll; seeds are recommended for texture.
