Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup glutinous rice (sticky rice)
- 1 cup fresh coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons erythritol sweetener
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 large ripe mangoes
- 2 tablespoons coconut flakes (optional, for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon lime zest (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse the glutinous rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
Soak the rice in water for at least 4 hours or overnight, then drain.
Set up a steaming basket lined with cheesecloth over a pot of simmering water. Place the drained rice into the basket, cover, and steam for 25-30 minutes until the rice is tender.
While the rice is steaming, heat the coconut milk in a small saucepan over low-medium heat. Add the erythritol sweetener and salt, stirring until dissolved. Do not let it boil.
Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large mixing bowl. Gradually pour in the warm coconut milk mixture, stirring continuously until absorbed.
Cover the bowl with a cloth and let it sit for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the rice to absorb the coconut milk thoroughly and become sticky.
Meanwhile, peel and slice the mangoes, discarding the seed and arranging the slices nicely.
To serve, mold a portion of sticky rice on each plate using a small bowl or an ice cream scoop. Arrange mango slices alongside.
Garnish with coconut flakes and lime zest if desired, for added flavor and presentation.
Serve immediately and enjoy your sugar-free mango sticky rice!
