Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup glutinous rice (sticky rice)
- 2 tablespoons protein powder
- 1.5 cups coconut milk
- 0.25 cup sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and sliced
- 0.25 cup coconut cream
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse the glutinous rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
Soak the rice in water for at least 1 hour, then drain and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine coconut milk, protein powder, sugar, and salt over medium heat. Stir until the sugar and protein powder dissolve completely.
Add the drained rice to the coconut milk mixture and stir to combine.
Cover the saucepan, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid.
While the rice is cooking, soak the chia seeds in the coconut cream and set aside for at least 10 minutes, allowing them to thicken.
Once the rice is cooked, let it sit covered for an additional 10 minutes off the heat to steam and fluff up.
Stir the chia cream mixture into the cooked sticky rice until well combined.
Serve the warm sticky rice with the sliced mangoes on top, and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds, if desired.
