COCONUT RICE PUDDING WITH MANGO

Steps:

• Bring 3 cups of water to a boil in a medium pot over medium heat. Stir in the rice, cover, turn to low and let simmer until the rice has absorbed all the water and is tender, about 20 minutes. (You can also cook the rice in a rice cooker.)
• In a large saucepan over low heat, combine the coconut milk, sugar, vanilla, salt and orange zest and cook until the mixture is hot and the sugar is dissolved, 4 to 5 minutes; do not let the mixture boil or the coconut milk could curdle. Stir in the cooked rice, cover and cook on low until thick and the rice has absorbed most of the coconut milk, for an additional 15 to 20 minutes.
• To serve, scoop the rice pudding into individual bowls, top with diced mango and garnish with mint sprigs.

COCONUT MILK STICKY RICE WITH MANGOES

Steps:

• Steam the sticky rice until tender (see Editor's Notes, below).
• Meanwhile, place the coconut milk in a heavy pot and heat over medium heat until hot. Do not boil. Add the sugar and salt and stir to dissolve completely.
• When the sticky rice is tender, turn it out into a bowl and pour 1 cup of the hot coconut milk over; reserve the rest. Stir to mix the liquid into the rice, then let stand for 20 minutes to an hour to allow the flavors to blend.
• Meanwhile, peel the mangoes. The mango pit is flat and you want to slice the mango flesh off the pit as cleanly as possible. One at a time, lay the mangoes on a narrow side on a cutting board and slice lengthwise about 1/2 inch from the center - your knife should cut just along the flat side of the pit; if it strikes the pit, shift over a fraction of an inch more until you can slice downward. Repeat on the other side of the pit, giving you two hemispherical pieces of mango. (The cook gets to snack on the stray bits of mango still clinging to the pit.) Lay each mango half flat and slice thinly crosswise.
• To serve individually, place an oval mound of sticky rice on each dessert plate and place a sliced half-mango decoratively beside it. Top with a sprig of mint or basil if you wish. Or, place the mango slices on a platter and pass it around, together with a serving bowl containing the rice, allowing guests to serve themselves. Stir the remaining sweetened coconut milk thoroughly, transfer to a small serving bowl or cruet, and pass it separately, with a spoon, so guests can spoon on extra as they wish.
• Notes:
• You can substitute black Thai sticky rice for half the white rice. Soak the two rices together; the white rice will turn a beautiful purple as it takes on color from the black rice. Cooking will take 10 minutes longer.
• Unlike plain sticky rice, Coconut Milk Sticky Rice has enough moisture and oils in it that it keeps well for 24 hours, in a covered container in the refrigerator, without drying out. Rewarm it the next day by steaming or in a microwave.

THAI COCONUT-MANGO STICKY RICE

Steps:

• Rice: Cook rice according to package directions, but substitute coconut milk for half of the water, and add half the sugar.
• It should be fairly dry when you finish cooking it, without any liquid visible in the pot.
• Sauce: In a medium saucepan, boil the rest of the coconut milk with the second half of the sugar.

STICKY COCONUT RICE, MANGO & PASSION FRUIT

Steps:

• A day ahead, wash the rice with plenty of cold water, then drain and tip it into a bowl. Pour over enough cold water to more than cover it, then leave to soak overnight.
• Make the mango sauce. Liquidise the mango flesh with the orange juice, lime juice and sugar. Taste and add a little extra sugar or lime juice if necessary. Pass through a fine sieve, then chill if making ahead.
• Drain the rice, transfer to a steamer and steam for 25-30 mins until soft and tender, making sure the water doesn't boil dry. Simmer the coconut milk with 85g of the sugar for 1 min. Pour in the lime juice, stir in the steamed rice, then leave, covered, for 5 mins until it has a thick, creamy consistency. Check for sweetness, adding more sugar to taste if needed. Cool slightly, about 10 mins, until tepid and holding its shape. The rice is best served slightly warm, as the longer it is left, the firmer and sticker it becomes.
• For each serving, place a 6.5cm diameter x 3.5cm tall ring mould in the middle of a large plate. Spoon in one-sixth of the sticky rice. Drizzle a little mango sauce on the plate around the rice. Arrange a few slices of mango on the sauce and lay a few on top of the rice with a sprinkling of lime zest. Spoon around some passion fruit seeds and juice. Scatter over a few mint leaves. Serve the remaining mango sauce separately.
