Collagen Thai Mango Sticky Rice

Ingredients:

Coconut Sticky Rice

  • 1 cup white glutinous rice

  • ⅔ cup coconut milk

  • ½ teaspoon table salt

  • ½ cup sugar

  • Orgain collagen 

Salted Coconut drizzle

  • ½ cup coconut milk

  • ¼ teaspoon table salt

  • 1 teaspoon rice flour

  • 1 Tablespoon water

Step by step:

Start  process of making the blue rice collagen soak
Boil 1–1.5 cups of water and steep 1–2 teaspoons of butterfly pea powder for about 5 minutes 

  • This will be the soaking liquid for your glutinous rice.

DISSOLVE COLLAGEN: 

  • Orgain Multi Collagen appears as it’s being scooped in and dissolved into the rice water

  • While the butterfly pea-infused water is still warm (but not boiling hot), stir in 1–2 scoops of collagen powder.

  • Make sure it dissolves completely before proceeding.

SOAK THE RICE:

  • Rinse 1 cup of glutinous rice thoroughly until the water runs clear.

  • Pour the warm butterfly pea + collagen mixture over the rice and let it soak for at least 3–4 hours, or overnight for best results.

  • The rice will absorb the color and collagen as it hydrates.

STEAM THE RICE:

  • Drain the rice very well, shaking off excess water in a sieve until there is no more dripping. Drain the rice VERY VERY well before you steam.  Line a steamer rack with moist muslin (not soaking wet!) or a thin white tea towel and place the rice on the cloth. Fold the edges of the cloth over the rice

  • Steam the rice for 20-25 minutes over boiling water. Make sure the rice doesn't cover the entire rack - there should be space around the rice to allow the steam to come up.

  • While the rice is steaming, I make the collagen syrup

COLLAGEN SYRUP:

  • Combine the ⅔ cup coconut milk, ½ cup sugar, and ½ tsp salt in a small pot. If you have Cook it over medium heat, and as soon as it starts to bubble, turn off the heat and cover. You will need to reheat this once the rice is ready

  • Mix collagen powder into the warm coconut milk Syrup –  stir in the collagen powder while it’s still warm to ensure it dissolves completely. This prevents clumping and avoids altering the texture of the rice.

  • Orgain Multi Collagen appears  again as it’s being scooped into the syrup

  • Few minutes before the rice is done, reheat the syrup so it is steaming hot then keep covered. When the rice is done, immediately place the rice into a mixing bowl and immediately pour the syrup over the rice. Stir to break up any lumps, then cover with a lid, a plate, or aluminum foil and let sit for 20 minutes.

  • After 20 minutes, use a rubber spatula to fold the bottom part of the rice up to the top to help redistribute the syrup, and let sit for at least another 20 minutes or until ready to serve. At this stage the rice will keep at room temp all day.

WHILE YOU WAIT MAKE COCONUT DRIZZLE 

  • Stir the rice flour/ corn starch into the water until there are no more lumps.

  • 1 teaspoon rice flour, 1 Tablespoon water

  • Combine the rice flour slurry, ½ cup coconut milk, and ¼ tsp salt in a small pot. Cook over medium high heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil. Remove from heat and pour into a bowl. Let cool completely before serving.

  • Once cooled, slice your mango and add to your favorite plate, a scoop of blue sticky rice and top with the coconut drizzle! ENJOY!
