Ingredients

  • 1 cup Thai black glutinous rice (or any variety of black rice eg. forbidden rice)
  • 3 cups water
  • 2-3 tablespoons coconut sugar* (or any sugar will do)
  • 1 teaspooon vanilla essence
  • generous pinch of salt
  • ½ cup coconut cream or milk (optional)

To serve

  • fresh mango
  • coconut milk optional
  • toasted coconut flakes

Instructions

  • Rinse the rice until it runs clear
  • Place all ingredients except the coconut cream/milk in the pressure cooker. Set for 35 minutes on high/manual.
  • Once the time is up, let the pressure release manually for 10 minutes
  • Stir in the coconut cream/milk if using.
  • If eating warm, serve immediately with mango and coconut flakes or place in the fridge for a few hours to enjoy cold.
  • Store in the fridge for up to 4 days. The grains get quite firm the longer they are in the fridge, so it tends to be better if eaten sooner rather than later.

Notes

Equipment: pressure cooker, measuring cup and spoons, wooden spoon
Variations:
Traditionally, this can be made with pandan leaf, so that would be added in while the rice is cooking in the pressure cooker.
I also think a version with rosewater or orange blossom, coconut cream and pistachios would be amazing.
Lychees or fresh figs would be a fantastic option instead of mango.
