Refined Sugar Free-Mango Sticky Rice - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 cup Thai glutinous rice
1 1/3 cups coconut milk
1/3 cup dates, pitted and chopped
1/4 teaspoon Himalayan salt
1 teaspoon cornstarch
2 ripe mangoes, sliced
1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds

Preparation

Place glutinous rice in a large container and cover with several inches of cool water. Let soak, about 1 hour. Drain and rinse thoroughly.
Cook rice in a steamer over medium-low heat for 20 minutes.
Combine coconut milk, dates, and Himalayan salt in a high-speed blender; blend until completely smooth. Pour 2/3 of the coconut mixture into a bowl; reserve.
Pour remaining 1/3 of the coconut mixture into a saucepan over low heat. Sift in cornstarch. Cook, stirring constantly, until thickened into a sauce, 3 to 5 minutes.
Place rice in a large pot over low heat; stir in reserved coconut mixture. Cook, stirring gently, until liquid is absorbed, 5 to 10 minutes.
Transfer rice to a serving dish. Arrange mango slices around rice. Pour sauce over rice; garnish with sesame seeds.
