Mango and Coconut Sticky Rice Dessert Recipe from Eva Pau's Asian Kitchen

Serves 2-4

Ingredients:

• 200g White Glutinous Rice
• 250ml Coconut Milk
• 3Tbsp of Sugar
• ½ tsp of salt
• 2 fresh yellow mangoes (cut and diced)
• 50g mung beans ( sold as east end brand moong dal washed - split Moong Bean huskless)

Method:

1. Rinse and wash the glutinous rice a few times, so that the water runs clear.
2. Soak the rice in a bowl for 3 hours in water or you can also leave them overnight. The water should cover at least 2 inches above the rice.
3. Strain the rice through a sieve and place in a bamboo steamer lined with some greaseproof paper. Steam for 30minutes or until the rice is cooked and soft. 
4. While the rice is steaming, in a small pan, gently heat the coconut milk with the sugar and salt for 2-3mins until the sugar is melted. 
5. Rinse the mung beans and add them to a small pot with enough water to cover them. Bring them to a gentle boil and let it simmer for 5minutes until the beans are soft. Strain the mung beans and slightly pat them dry with a tea towel or kitchen paper. In a small frying pan, toast the mung beans gently for 4-5minutes with a little oil until they are crispy.
6. Slice the mango flesh into cubes and set aside.
7. When the rice is soft and ready, spoon it into a bowl and pour two thirds of the coconut mixture in the rice and mix well.
8. On a plate, add some of the coconut rice with the mangoes and the reserved coconut mixture poured on top of the rice, sprinkle with some crispy mung bean. Ready to serve.
