Made this the other night after a dinner of spicey curry- this was just the thing. The family loved it. I didn't have any coconut cream so omitted that. I also lacked the mango so I served with choice of toppings: DH liked the toasted coconut, DS#1 liked the crushed pineapple with juice and I preferred the chopped banana in lime juice. Mangos are a definate must for the next time I make this easy, tastey dish.

Thanks for the tip of using boiling water to speed up the process in Sticky Rice (Glutinous Rice / Kow Neyo) #10876! I decided last minute to make a sticky rice dessert using a combination of both black and white glutinous rice (gao nep than & gao nep thuong hang) which gives you a purple rice to serve the mango and strawberries over and moreover gives a great colorful presentation! Thanks, it'd been a while since I'd cooked sticky rice, your directions for the dessert were spot on. I used splenda for the sweetener to cut down on the sugars a little.

First time sticky ricer here, and it turned out beautifully! I used Sticky Rice (Glutinous Rice / Kow Neyo) for the base. This is a fabulous dish and I served it along side Jalapeno-Lime Shrimp With Yellow Rice (without the yellow rice, of course). What a winner! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
