Juicy mango and sweet glutinous rice (VEGAN)
Ingredient:
1 Mango – ripe
50 grams Glutinous rice
250ml Water
150ml Coconut milk
3-4 tbs Sugar
1 pinch Salt
2 tbs Cashew nuts – chopped (optional)

Method
-Wash and rinse the glutinous rice and repeat for about 5 minutes.
-Put water and washed glutinous rice in a small pot, bring it to a boil.
-Fold the glutinous rice to ensure nothing will stick at the bottom of the pot, then simmer for approx 15-18 minutes. Fold the rice occasionally.
-While waiting for the rice to cook add the coconut milk, sugar and salt in a small pan. Gently heat until the sugar dissolves. This is your coconut sauce.
-Get a sharp knife, peel and slice the mango thinly.
-Once the Glutinous rice is cooked. Take off the heat and pour in 80ml of coconut sauce while the rice is still hot. Fold the rice gently with a fork. Make sure that the coconut sauce is coating the rice well. Layer the mango on top of a serving plate then rice, mango and lastly rice again on the top.
-Sprinkle chopped cashew nuts and desiccated coconut on the top. Garnish with baby mint leaves.
-Serve with the rest of the coconut sauce in a little sauce bowl, if you like it extra creamy and saucy.
Tips:
Serve the sweet glutinous rice and coconut sauce warm with room temperature mango.
