Mango Ginger Rice Recipes

MANGO PORK TENDERLOIN WITH SWEET GINGER RICE AND GRILLED PINEAPPLE

Steps:

• Mango Pork Tenderloin:
• Combine all the dry rub ingredients in a small bowl.
• Coat the loins with the dry rub, put them into a resealable plastic bag and refrigerate for 2 hours. Puree the soy sauce, white wine, orange juice, ketchup, ginger, garlic and sugar in a blender until smooth. Add the marinade to the tenderloins, and refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours.
• Remove the tenderloins from the marinade and allow them to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Combine all the ingredients in a nonstick saucepan over medium heat and simmer hard, stirring often, until the mango breaks down and thickens to a jam.
• Transfer the marinade to a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the mango jam and the sweet chili sauce, and bring to a hard simmer. Reduce the mixture by 1/2 the volume, stirring occasionally, as the sugars can settle and burn. Remove 1/2 of the marinade to a small bowl and set aside for service.
• Sweet Ginger Rice:
• Cook the rice according to package directions. Coat the inside of an 8 by 8-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
• Transfer 2 cups of the warm cooked rice to a mixing bowl. Add the pickled ginger, fish sauce and chili garlic sauce and gently combine. Press the mixture into the baking dish, cover and refrigerate until cooled and set, about 1 hour.
• (When the pork loins have been put on the grill) gently turn the set rice cake out onto a cutting board. Cut the cake corner to corner to make 4 triangles. Heat the 2 tablespoons of oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Carefully add the 4 rice cakes. If a part of the cake breaks away, gently press it back into shape. Saute on the first side until the cakes have caramelized, about 15 minutes. Carefully turn the cakes over, add 1 tablespoon oil and 1 tablespoon butter. Saute the second side until you can hear the caramelized cakes gently scratching the bottom when the pan is jiggled, about 10 to 15 minutes.
• Grilled Pineapple:
• Cut the pineapple lengthwise into logs or wedges, then cut in half and put them into a large bowl. Combine the rum, sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and pour it over the pineapple. Allow it to sit at room temperature for 1 hour.
• When the tenderloins have been removed from the grill to rest, grill the pineapple on medium-high heat for a couple minutes per side turning and basting with the rum sauce to achieve caramelized grill marks.
• Prepare a charcoal or gas grill with 1 side medium-high heat and 1 side medium-low heat. Sear the loins on all 4 sides on medium-high for 3 minutes per side. Move the loins to the medium-low heat side. Baste with the marinade, close grill and cook, basting every 5 minutes, until the loins reach medium-rare or to desired doneness.
• Remove the loins to a cutting board and cover loosely with foil. Let rest for 15 minutes before carving on the diagonal into 1/4-inch medallions. Transfer the medallions to a serving platter and serve with sweet ginger rice, grilled pineapple and reserved marinade.

MANGO GINGER RICE

Steps:

• Heat oil in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Saute mango and ginger until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Add rice and saute, stirring often, until rice appears translucent, about 5 minutes. Pour in water and salt; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cover; cook until water is absorbed, about 20 minutes.
• Transfer hot rice to a serving dish and top with green onions and cilantro.

GINGER RICE

Steps:

• Melt butter in a small pot over medium-high heat. Add ginger; cook and stir until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Add water and a pinch of sea salt; bring to a boil. Stir in rice, cover, and reduce heat to a gentle simmer. Cook until tender, about 15 minutes.
• Fluff rice with a fork and season with salt and pepper. Serve with lime wedges.

STICKY RICE WITH MANGO

Steps:

• Put rice in a bowl and rinse several times in cold water until water is clear, not milky, then drain. Cover rice with cold water and let soak for at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours.
• Drain rice using a fine-meshed sieve or colander (line with cheesecloth if colander holes are too large). Place rice over a pot of rapidly simmering water (don't allow water to touch sieve) and steam, covered, for 15 minutes.
• Remove lid and flip rice over. Continue steaming, covered, for 10 minutes, until rice is translucent and glossy. Taste to make sure rice is completely cooked; it may take up to 10 minutes more. Turn off heat. Fluff rice with a wooden spoon, then cover and let rest for 5 minutes.
• While rice cooks, put coconut milk, sugar and salt in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring, just until sugar is dissolved. Set aside.
• Put warm rice in a serving bowl. Pour coconut milk mixture over rice and stir well. Leave for 10 minutes to let absorb, then stir in coconut cream. Serve warm or at room temperature with mango slices.

GINGER MANGO CREAM TART

Steps:

• Prepare the crust: Add the gingersnaps to a food processor, roughly breaking them as you go, then pulse them into fine crumbs. (You should have about 2 1/4 cups). Add the melted butter, light brown sugar and salt to combine. Transfer the mixture to a 9-inch springform pan, then press it evenly into the base and halfway up the sides of the pan. Freeze while you make the filling.
• Prepare the filling: In a medium saucepan, heat the mango, sugar, ginger, turmeric and salt over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mango is very soft and starts to break down, 8 to 12 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes.
• Place 3 tablespoons cool water in a small microwave-safe bowl. Sprinkle the gelatin over the water and let bloom for 5 minutes. Microwave until fluid, 15 to 30 seconds. (Alternatively, the bowl of gelatin can be placed over a small pot of simmering water until melted.)
• Wipe out the bowl of the food processor, add the mango mixture and pulse until mostly smooth. Add the cream cheese and confectioners' sugar and pulse until combined and smooth. Scrape the bowl well, then pulse again to combine. Add the cream and process for 1 minute. Finally, add the melted gelatin and pulse briefly to combine.
• Transfer the mixture to the chilled crust and gently spread into an even layer. Wrap the pan in plastic wrap, transfer to the refrigerator, and chill for 12 hours (or up to 24 hours).
• Gently run a small offset spatula or thin knife around the outer edge of the cake to loosen the crust, then release the outer ring. Run a large thin knife between the springform base and the bottom of the cake and use a large spatula to gently transfer the cake to a serving platter. (Alternatively, you can keep the cake on the base and transfer them together to a serving platter.)
• If using any of the garnishes, sprinkle them around the outside edge just before slicing and serving.

STICKY RICE & MANGO

Steps:

• Soak the sticky rice in cold water for at least 3 hours, or overnight. Drain and rinse thoroughly. Line a steamer with double thickness muslin or a J-cloth (single thickness) and place the rice on top. Bring the water in the steamer to the boil and steam the rice over moderate heat for 30 minutes, turning halfway. Put in a bowl and set aside.
• Combine the coconut milk and sugar in a small pan and heat gently, stirring all the time, until the sugar has dissolved. Do not boil. Stir in the salt and pour over the cooked rice, stirring gently; set aside to cool.
• Peel the mangoes and cut off the two outer cheeks of each fruit, as close to the stones as possible. Discard the stones. Slice each piece of fruit into thin lengthways slices.
• Put a mound of rice on a dish lined with a leaf and nestle the mango next to it. Pour the coconut cream over and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
