Sticky Rice

We love sticky rice. This is a super quick and easy way to make good sticky rice - none of that steam in a wicker basket stuff around our house. That just takes too much effort :)...and....I don't own one of those sticky rice steamer things. With this recipe, I don't need too.

Combine in a microwave safe bowl (preferrably glass) and allow to soak for 10 minutes:
1 cup sticky rice
1 cup + a 2 Tbsp water

Cover bowl with a plate and microwave on high power for 3 minutes.
Stir.
Place in microwave for an additional 3 minutes.
Stir. Test to see if rice is done, it usually is at this point. If it isn't add another minute or two.

Sauce:
1 can coconut milk
1/2 cup sugar

Combine in a saucepan over medium heat until sugar is dissolved and mixture is quite warm (doesn't need to boil).

Serve rice with sauce spooned over it and with cut up Mangos, peaches, strawberries, kiwis, or any other fruit that sounds tasty.
