Durian Sticky Rice

Durian Sticky Rice is a delectable Thai dessert that combines the rich, creamy flavor of durian with sweet coconut sticky rice. This vegan treat is both satisfying and indulgent, perfect for those who appreciate unique flavors.

Ingredients

• Sticky rice - 150 grams
• Coconut milk - 200 ml
• Sugar - 50 grams
• Salt - 1/4 teaspoon
• Durian flesh - 100 grams
• Sesame seeds - 1 tablespoon (optional for garnish)

Steps

1. Rinse the sticky rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then soak it in water for at least 4 hours or overnight.
2. Drain the soaked rice and steam it in a bamboo or metal steamer for about 25-30 minutes, or until the grains are translucent and tender.
3. While the rice is steaming, combine the coconut milk, sugar, and salt in a saucepan over low heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves, but do not bring it to a boil.
4. Once the rice is done, transfer it to a mixing bowl and pour about 150 ml of the sweetened coconut milk over it. Stir gently to mix and let it sit for about 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
5. To serve, place a portion of the sticky rice on a plate, top with durian flesh, and drizzle the remaining coconut milk over the top. Optionally, sprinkle with sesame seeds for garnish.
