(Thai Mango Sticky Rice Dessert)
My humble attempt at Thai food, which I never make. This delicious and satisfying dessert is coconut milk and sticky rice with mango. I topped the rice off with a bit of toasted sesame seeds and drizzled with some warm honey. Not completely unhealthful, the coconut milk actually has a lot of iron. The mango is a good source of fiber and Vitamin B6, and a very good source of Vitamin A and Vitamin C.


Short grain rice (I have used sushi rice and risotto)
1 can of coconut milk
1/2 lemon
1 mango
Toasted sesame seeds
Honey

1. Cook rice in a rice cooker or on the stove according to directions.
2. Immediately after it is done (or better, almost done), remove it from the heat and add about 2/3 of the can of coconut milk and a couple of tablespoons of honey (too taste... not too sweet). Allow the rice to absorb the coconut milk. Add more coconut milk if needed.
3. Toss the mango with the juice of 1/2 lemon.
4. Once the rice is cooled, top with toasted sesame seeds, cubed mango, and drizzle with honey.
