Ingredients

• 1 cup Thai red rice
• 2 cups Water
• 1.5 cups Coconut milk
• 0.5 cup Coconut cream
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
• 1 cup Mango slices (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the Thai red rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch.

Step 2

In a medium-sized pot, combine the rinsed red rice and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25-30 minutes or until the rice is tender and most of the water has been absorbed.

Step 3

Add the coconut milk, coconut cream, brown sugar, and salt to the pot with the cooked rice. Stir well to combine.

Step 4

Cook the mixture over low heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking or burning. Simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the pudding thickens to your desired consistency.

Step 5

Remove the pot from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed by adding a small amount of additional brown sugar.

Step 6

Allow the pudding to cool slightly. It will thicken further as it cools.

Step 7

Serve warm or chilled, garnished with sesame seeds. For an extra treat, add fresh mango slices on the side.
