Prep: 12 min | Cook: 30 min | Total: 52 min
Cost: $5.75 total, $1.44 per serving
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Sweet Glutinous Rice (Rinse until water runs clear; drains well)
- 1 cup Canned Beans (Drained and rinsed; any cooked beans such as red kidney or black beans)
- 2 cups Water (For cooking rice)
- 1 can Coconut Milk (Full‑fat, 13.5 fl oz; shake well before opening)
- 0.5 cup Granulated Sugar (Regular white sugar)
- 1 pinch Sea Salt (Fine sea salt, about 1/8 tsp)
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch (For slurry; mix with water before adding)
- 2 tablespoons Water (For cornstarch slurry)
Instructions
Rinse the Glutinous Rice
Place 1.5 cups of sweet glutinous rice in a bowl, fill with water, swirl and drain. Repeat until the water runs clear.
Time: PT5M
Start Cooking the Rice
Add the rinsed rice, 1 cup of drained beans, and 2 cups of water to the rice cooker. Set to the "White Rice" setting and start.
Time: PT20M
Prepare the Coconut‑Sugar Sauce
While the rice cooks, shake the can of coconut milk vigorously, pour it into a medium saucepan, add 0.5 cup sugar, and a pinch of sea salt. Heat over medium‑low, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves—do NOT let the mixture boil.
Time: PT5M
Temperature: Medium‑low
Reserve One Cup of Sauce
When the sugar is fully dissolved, measure out 1 cup of the sauce and set aside in a small bowl. This will be used later for the glaze.
Time: PT2M
Combine Remaining Sauce with Cooked Rice
When the rice cooker signals that cooking is complete, open the lid, scoop out the portion of rice you plan to keep for another dish (optional), and gently fold the remaining sauce into the rice. Stir just enough to coat the grains—over‑mixing can make the rice mushy.
Time: PT3M
Make the Cornstarch Slurry
In a small cup, whisk together 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 2 tablespoons water until smooth.
Time: PT1M
Thicken the Reserved Sauce
Return the reserved 1 cup of sauce to the saucepan, bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, then slowly whisk in the cornstarch slurry. Continue cooking, stirring, until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy (about 2–3 minutes).
Time: PT5M
Temperature: Medium
Serve
Spoon the creamy sticky rice onto serving plates and drizzle the glossy coconut glaze over the top. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Time: PT3M
