This is another gem from that little Thai cookbook I got at the Asian Market in Provo. It is normally served as a dessert, but we eat it as a main dish. :) It is so refreshing in the summertime! It is traditionally served warm, but I actually prefer it cold. Either way is tasty! I just recommend not reheating the mangoes, so if you serve it warm you should serve the mangoes on the side rather than combining everything together. Enjoy!
2 1/2 cups uncooked Mahatma jasmine rice (Important! It needs to be Mahatma jasmine rice! It comes in a shiny purple package.)
1 can coconut milk
1 cup sugar
3/4 Tbsp. salt
1 Tbsp. vegetable oil
4 mangoes
Cook the rice according to package directions. Put coconut milk, sugar, salt, and vegetable oil in a saucepan and bring to a boil on medium heat, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat when it boils. Pour the coconut milk mixture over the cooked rice and cover for 10-15 minutes to let it soak into the rice. Chill or serve warm with fresh, diced mango.
This is also good with cinnamon sprinkled over the top. I tried it today and it was delicious--thanks for posting this Kaitlyn!
