Mango With Sticky Coconut Rice (Kao Niaw) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 tablespoon grapeseed oil
1 1/2 cups sweet rice
2 cups coconut milk

Preparation

Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat; gently cook and stir rice in the hot oil until toasted, 2 to 3 minutes. Add coconut milk, water, sugar, and salt; bring to a boil.
