Equipment
Ingredients
Sticky Rice
- 1 cup long grain white or Jasmine rice
- 1/2 cup coconut milk unsweetened and full fat
- 1 cup water
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
Coconut Sauce
- 1 1/2 cup coconut milk measure 1/2 cup out of a can of coconut milk to cook the rice, and use the remainder to make the sauce
- 1/4 cup sugar to taste (some prefer a saltier sauce or a sweeter sauce)
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon cold water
Other Ingredients
- 1 large ripe mango sliced or diced
- toasted sesame seeds or toasted coconut for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- To the Instant Pot pressure cooker, add rice, 1/2 cup coconut milk, 1 cup water, and salt. Stir. Lock the lid, turn the knob to SEALING, then pressure cook for 3 minutes on high pressure with a 10 minute natural pressure release.
- While the rice is cooking, make the sauce. In a separate small pot over medium heat, combine remaining coconut milk, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil for 1 minute. Make a cornstarch slurry with cornstarch and cold water, then whisk into the boiling coconut milk until thick. Remove from the heat.
- Open the Instant Pot and fluff the rice with a rice paddle. add 1/2 cup of the coconut sauce into the rice and stir completely. Turn off or unplug the Instant Pot, then replace the lid on the Instant Pot and allow to cool and absorb the sauce for 10 minutes.
- Scoop out rice into a bowl or on a plate, and serve with mango. Top with additional coconut sauce, sesame seeds, and/or coconut, if desired.
Notes
- Taste the coconut sauce before adding the cornstarch slurry to make sure the sweetness is right for you. I prefer to let the sweetness come from the fresh mango, but if your mangoes are not that ripe, you may consider adding an additional teaspoon or tablespoon of sugar to meet your taste.
- If the coconut sauce is too thick for your taste, you may thin with a little water or milk (if you use milk, it will not be dairy free.)
- May be served warm, room temperature, or cold.
