Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the sticky rice
  • 1.5 cups glutinous rice
  • 1 and ⅓ cups water
  • 1.5 cups full-fat coconut milk (1 can)
  • ⅓ cup sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon and 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons warm water for cornstarch slurry
For the spring rolls
  • 1 large mango cut into ½ inch thin strips
  • 8-10 sheets rice paper (22cm round)
  • 2 tablespoons oil for frying

Method
 

Cooking the rice
  1. Rinse the glutinous rice under cold running water until the water runs clear, then drain.
  2. Add the rice and 1 and ⅓ cups of water to a rice cooker and cook until soft and sticky (20-30 minutes).
Preparing the coconut sauce
  1. In a small sauce pot, combine the coconut milk, sugar, and salt. Heat over medium until warm and sugar dissolves.
  2. Mix cornstarch with warm water in a bowl to create a slurry, then stir it into the coconut mixture until it thickens.
Combining the rice and sauce
  1. Once the rice is cooked, pour 1 cup of the coconut mixture into the rice and stir. Allow to cool for 10 minutes.
Assembling the spring rolls
  1. Dunk a rice paper sheet into warm water until pliable. Lay it flat.
  2. Place 2-3 tablespoons of sticky rice and 1-2 mango strips in the center. Fold sides over and roll tightly from the bottom.
  3. Optionally, wrap each roll in an extra piece of rice paper.
Frying the spring rolls
  1. In a pan over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of oil. Fry the spring rolls for 4-5 minutes, turning until golden brown.
  2. Let cool for 5-10 minutes before serving with remaining warm coconut sauce.

Notes

Serve as a sweet appetizer or dessert. Try adding toasted coconut or crushed nuts for extra flavor. If mango isn't in season, substitute with other fruits like strawberries or kiwi.
