Ingredients
- 1 Sticky Rice
- 1 Coconut Milk
- 1/2 Water
- 1/4 Sugar (or to taste)
- 1/4 Salt
- Fresh Fruits (like Mango or Pineapple, for topping)
- Toasted Coconut Flakes (optional, for extra crunch)
Instructions
- Soak the Rice:First, rinse the Sticky Rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch.Soak the rice in water for about 30 minutes to 1 hour. This step is super important for getting that perfect texture!
- Cook the Rice:After soaking, drain the rice and put it in a saucepan.Add 1/2 Cup Water and a pinch of Salt.Cover the pan and cook on medium heat. Once it starts to boil, reduce to low heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.
- Make the Coconut Mixture:While the rice is cooking, grab another saucepan.Pour in the Coconut Milk, Sugar, and a pinch of Salt.Heat it over medium heat until it’s warm, stirring until the sugar dissolves. But don’t let it boil! Just warm and cozy.
- Combine:Once your rice is cooked, add it to the coconut mixture. Stir gently until the rice is well-coated in that delicious coconut goodness.Let it cook together on low heat for about 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. This allows the rice to absorb the coconut flavor!
- Cool It Down:After cooking, remove the pot from heat and let it sit for a few minutes. This helps it thicken up a bit.If you want to enjoy it cold, just pop it in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
- Serve and Enjoy:Scoop the Thai Coconut Rice Pudding into bowls.Top with your favorite Fresh Fruits like Mango or Pineapple, and sprinkle some Toasted Coconut Flakes on top for that extra crunch!Dig in and enjoy your tropical breakfast treat! 🌴✨
