Steps:

• Rinse the rice in a sieve under cold running water.
• Place rice in a bowl and add enoough cold water to cover the rice at least 1 inch.
• Let rice stand overnight or at least 8 hours. (Don't skip this step!).
• Drain rice.
• In a heavy saucepan, combine the rice and the 4 cups water. Cover pan and bring to a boil. Lower heat and maintain a gentle simmer until all the liquid is absorbed and rice is tender but not mushy. This takes 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 hours. The texture of the pudding should be very thick but still spoonable. Toward the end of cooking, be sure to stir occasionally to prevent any scorching or sticking. If the rice looks as though it is too dry, add a little more water.
• Remove from the pot and stir in the sugar and salt. Let cool slightly. Then add the lime juice.
• For Coconut sauce:.
• In medium saucepan,combine the coconut milk and salt. Simmer, stirring until the liquid has thickened slightly, 15-20 minutes.
• Pour into a small bowl and let cool.
• To serve, spoon rice pudding into individual bowls. Spoon coconut sauce over each serving and let each person stir it into the rice as they eat. Can be eaten cold but warm is best.

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Place drained, soaked rice in a pot together with brown sugar, salt, 1 can of coconut milk, and water.
• Boil half-covered until the liquid has been absorbed and the rice is soft to chew-about 45 to 50 minutes. (If necessary, add 1 cup more water and continue cooking until rice is tender.)
• When rice is done cooking, allow it to cool slightly. Preheat oven to 350 F.
• Add the remaining 1/2 can coconut milk plus the eggs. Mix thoroughly. Check the taste, adding a little more sugar if needed.
• Pour this mixture into one large baking dish, or divide up into individual ramekins. Cover with tin foil (or a lid if using a baking dish).
• Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and either serve warm or place in the refrigerator and serve cold.
• When serving, add a dollop of coconut cream on top (the solid cream from the top of a can of thick coconut milk), or whipped cream.

THAI BLACK STICKY RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• Soak rice: Place both rices in a bowl and cover with water (5cm / 2" above). Soak for 4 hours (up to 12 hours).
• Strain the rice and add it to a small pot or large saucepan.
• Pandan leaves: Add the knotted pandan leaves.
• Simmer 30 minutes: Add 4 cups of cold water. Bring to boil. Turn stove down to low so it's simmering very gently (small, slow little bubbles). Simmer 30 minutes (no lid), stirring frequently for the last 15 minutes and almost constantly towards the end (so the base does not catch).
• Consistency: Rice should be soft / fully cooked through, water reduced, and sauce should be creamy not watery (starch from rice thickens water).
• Add sugar: Stir in sugar and salt until it dissolves (~20 seconds).
• Ladle into bowls - it should ooze slowly, not be runny nor so thick it stays in a mound, see video for consistency. (If it's too thick, add a touch of water and stir).
• Toppings: Mix coconut cream with salt. Drizzle onto rice pudding. Top with toasted coconut and mango if using. Serve immediately.

TASHI'S FAVORITE BLACK RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• Place the rice and water in a heavy pot and bring to a boil. Let boil vigorously for several minutes, stirring frequently, then cover, lower the heat to medium, and cook for 10 minutes. Lower the heat to very low and let simmer, still covered, for about 30 minutes.
• Just before the rice finishes cooking, place the coconut milk in a saucepan over medium heat and stir in the sugar and salt until completely dissolved. Heat just to a boil, then reduce to the lowest heat until the rice is cooked.
• Add the coconut milk to the rice and stir well, then remove from the heat and set aside for 10 minutes, or as long as 2 hours.
• Serve warm or at room temperature, in small bowls, with your choice of topping.
• Note:
• If you like, once the pudding has cooled (or if you have leftover pudding), transfer it to a small baking sheet or a baking pan and use a spatula to smooth the surface. Cover and place it in the refrigerator for several hours, or overnight, to firm up. Cut into strips and serve sprinkled, if you wish, with the sesame seeds, coriander, or fried shallots, or a combination, or topped with the fruit.
