Description

Directions

• Cook your sticky rice with your preferred method (see notes for a link on different methods). I used a rice cooker.
• While the rice is cooking, melt the sugar in coconut milk over low-medium heat*. When the sugar has dissolved, remove from the heat then add the salt and pandan extract. Give it a quick stir.
• When the rice has cooked. Mix in the sweetened coconut milk and give it a quick stir (make sure the coconut milk is well incorporated). Then cover for 15-20 minutes. The liquid will soak up and look like this.
• Mix the corn starch and water and set aside for later. Over medium heat, bring the coconut milk to a gentle simmer. Add salt and corn starch mixture. You will notice that the cream will thicken slightly. Set the cream aside until you are ready to use. I spooned mine into a squeeze bottle but you can spoon it over the roll for easier clean up.
• Wrap a sushi bamboo mat in plastic wrap.
• Spread your rice over the mat about 1/4 inch thick and place your banana slice an inch above the bottom.
• Roll the rice, making sure to gently press the rice as you roll.
• This will vary by how thick your banana slice is and how hard you press but you will use about 60-70% of the rice on the mat. Fill in the empty space and repeat for the remaining rolls.
• Slice the mangoes into thin slices and gently press down to fan them out. Transfer the slices onto the roll (best done with a long knife).
• Wrap with plastic wrap and slice into 8 pieces.
• To serve: drizzle a little bit of the salted coconut sauce on the rice then top with toasted coconut flakes and black sesame seeds.
