Ingredients
  

For sushi

  • 1 ripe mango * see note
  • 2 cups glutinous rice * see note
  • 1 can coconut milk * see note
  • 1 ⅓ cups water
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • basil and shredded coconut to garnish.

For Sauce

  • 1 ½ cups coconut milk
  • ¾ cup coconut sugar

Instructions
 

  • Soak sticky rice in water for 1-2 hours.
  • Rinse the rice and place in a pot with a can of coconut milk and water. Cover and bring to a boil, then turn heat down to simmer.
  • When the liquid is absorbed, remove from heat and allow to cool.

For Sauce

  • In a saucepan, bring coconut milk, butter, and coconut sugar to boil. Turn down the heat and allow to simmer until the sauce becomes thick.

Assembly

  • When the rice has cooled down, make oval-shaped rice balls.
  • Place a slice of mango on top.
  • Pour a small amount of the coconut sauce over the top.
  • Garnish with sweetened coconut shreds and thinly sliced basil.

Notes

  1. The name glutinous rice is very misleading. This rice is gluten free and has no similarity to gluten.
  2. I recommend using full-fat coconut milk.
  3. You can use brown sugar or coconut sugar. Coconut sugar is low glycemic so there is less of a sugar buzz.
  4. To ripen a mango, place the mango into a brown paper bag and let it sit for 2 days. I recommend doing this right after you buy it so it is ripe and sweet when you are ready to make this recipe.

SPECIAL NOTE

Please know that every gluten free flour blend has a different starch to grain ratio. If you use a blend I didn't test, you may need to adjust your moisture levels in your baked goods.
