Mango Purple Sticky Rice
This recipe is inspired by travels to Thailand. Mango
sticky rice is a popular dessert there. The texture & the sweet &
savory combo is an incredible combination! This purple style mixup is
a mashup of Japanese style purple rice. Purple rice has a more firm
texture & basmati has a fluffier texture. The two work so well
together.
Made with Ralston Family Farms Purple Rice

Directions
The purple rice and basmati rice will be cooked separately. The purple rice takes longer to cook, approximately 45 minutes. Place a medium sized pot over low heat and add the whole can of coconut milk, the purple rice, pinch of salt, star anise, all of the sugar, vanilla and 1 cup of water. Cook for approximately 30-40 minutes until the liquid is more syrupy. Once at this stage, remove the star anise, turn off the heat, cover with a lid for 10 minutes. While the purple rice is cooking, start the basmati rice. Place a medium size pot over medium/low heat. Add the basmati rice, 3 cups of water and a pinch of salt. Cook according to the package's directions. Once cooked and fluffy we will combine the two rices. Place in the fridge to chill completely. The combination should be a pretty purple, top with coconut, mango and enjoy!
