Khao Niew Ping is a delightful Thai breakfast dish featuring sweet sticky rice paired with an assortment of grilled fruits, creating a perfect balance of flavors. This vegetarian treat is not only delicious but also offers a unique twist to your morning routine.

Ingredients

• Sticky rice - 200 grams
• Coconut milk - 150 ml
• Sugar - 30 grams
• Salt - 1/4 teaspoon
• Banana - 1 medium, sliced
• Pineapple - 100 grams, cut into wedges
• Mango - 1 medium, sliced
• Sesame seeds - 1 tablespoon, toasted
• Wooden skewers - 4 pieces

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 steamer lined with cheesecloth for about 20 minutes, until tender.
3. In a small saucepan, combine coconut milk, sugar, and salt. Cook over low heat until the sugar dissolves, then set aside.
4. Once the sticky rice is cooked, transfer it to a bowl and pour half of the coconut milk mixture over it. Mix gently to combine and let it cool slightly.
5. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat.
6. Thread the banana slices, pineapple wedges, and mango slices onto the wooden skewers, alternating the fruits.
7. Grill the fruit skewers for about 2-3 minutes on each side until grill marks appear and the fruits are slightly caramelized.
8. To serve, place a portion of the sticky rice on each plate, drizzle with the remaining coconut milk mixture, and arrange the grilled fruit skewers alongside. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
