Sweet Coconut Rice Recipe

(Khao Nieo Kaeo)

Ingredients : Serves 6-8

500 g (1 lb) glutinous rice

Water
2.5 cups coconut milk

2/3 cup sugar

Method :

Soak rice overnight in water. Drain and steam rice for 45 minutes or until grains may be pressed in the fingers and there is no hard core. Put the rice into a saucepan, add coconut milk and sugar and simmer on very low heat, stirring occasionally, until all the milk is absorbed. Turn on to a plate and flatten with a greased banana leaf or the back of a spoon. Allow to cool and set, then cut into diamond shapes. Serve as a dessert or snack with sliced ripe bananas.
