Stardew Valley #77: Mango Sticky Rice

Ingredients: Mango, Coconut, Rice

Item Description: Sweet mango and coconut transforms this rice into something very special.

We've got em all, mango, coconut 2 ways (cream and dried) and rice.

I should probably be using some sort of thai sticky rice, but I already have all this leftover pudding rice from the rice pudding WHICH I DIDNT EVEN LIKE but its basically just short grain rice, and might not be nice if cooked normal style and not in milk for 2 hours. On that note, i'm cooking it for 30mins in water and with the desiccated coconut.

Obviously the coconut creates a weird layer on the top that we can just mix back into the rice. If you don't like extra textures don't bother with the dried coconut i guess, but i like it just fine.

Oh! I just realised if this is meant to be a dessert, we haven't really added extra sweetness yet. I probably should have added that earlier, but whatever. Just adding a couple tablespoons of sugar, and a pinch of salt too. We don't want it sweeter than the mango, probably.

Now adding the coconut cream! It's so goopy and glossy. And just gently mix that all together.

Once its mixed and looking nice and sticky, im shoving it in a plastic tub so I can make a little tidy dome of rice. Well, a cylinder.

Pat that with the back of the spoon to compact it.

Now, to prepare the mango!

I feel like this is the impression the sprite gives me, but.. im gonna have to take it back off to separate the bits from the skin later.

Let's see how our cylinder game out... yeah nice!

Well, you can't really see the rice now... but anyway! Yes this tastes way way better than rice pudding. It's sweet and refreshing, and very filling too. I can only eat half of this for now... i need to stop eating rice-based desserts after a regular dinner.
