One of my favorite dishes in Thailand was Mangos and sticky rice!
it is made with sticky rice and coconut milk with mangos! This weekend I tried to make some, but to no avail :-(
So I bought this bamboo steaming basket to put in a pot in order to steam glutanous rice (the kind used to make sticky rice). I did it the way my Thai friends had instructed me, but I think I am supposed to rotate the rice throughout the steaming process? some of it turned out right, but the rest was still crunchy. and then I heated up the coconut milk to put in the rice and mixed it together, but it wasn't the right taste and texture.
Then the mangos we had bought were definitly NOT ripe! They were picked to early and then left to ripen while shipping them here, they got soft, but when I peeled them they still looked unripe and were not sweet. actually pretty bland.
so, it really didn't work, but I think I have a better idea on how to make the rice now.
My mom tried some of the crunchy/mushy rice and said -"this tastes right!"
My respose was "mom, I have lived in Thailand for TWO years!!!! I think I know what sticky rice tastes like!!!"
She said "well I had some when I visited!" but really she was only in thailand for 2 weeks and maybe had sticky rice twice..... so really she doesn't know, but I will keep trying!!!!
:-)
I'll let you know when I get it right!
