Thai Mango Sticky Sweet Rice Dessert

Thai Mango Sticky Sweet Rice Dessert (Khao Niaow Ma Muang)is an absolute must try! This recipe is foolproof and even budding chefs with two left hands come off smelling mango sweet. This easy Thai dessert starts with Thai sweet rice (also called sticky rice) which is surrounded by a "bath" of coconut milk, then topped with slices of fresh (or frozen) mango. If you like mangos, you're going to love this very simple but tropical dessert. Mmmmm!

INGREDIENTS:

Serves 2-4
1 cup Thai Sweet Rice (also called "sticky rice", available at Asian markets and grocery stores)
1 3/4 cups water
1 ripe mango, cut into bite-size pieces (look for mangos that are fragrant and easily bruised), or 1 pkg frozen mango
1/4 cup + 1 Tbsp. brown sugar (for a natural sweetener substitute maple syrup)
1 can good-quality coconut milk
1/4 tsp. + pinch of salt
2 tsp. coconut flavoring
1 tsp. vanilla
2 tsp. cornstarch or arrowroot powder dissolved in 2 Tbsp. water

:PREPARATION: Thai Mango Sticky Sweet Rice Dessert

Soak the sweet rice in 1 cup water for 20 minutes, or up to 1 hour.
When done soaking, add 3/4 cup (more) water plus 1/4 can coconut milk, 1/4 tsp. salt, 1 tsp. coconut flavoring, and 1 Tbsp. brown sugar. Stir this into the rice, lifting any rice grains that have stuck to the bottom of the pot.
Gradually bring to a gentle boil, then partially cover with a lid (leaving some room for steam to escape). Turn the heat down to medium-low (#2.5 to 3 on the dial).
Allow to cook for 10-20 minutes, or until the water has been absorbed by the rice. Remove the pot from the heat, place the lid on tight, and leave to "steam" cook for 5-10 minutes. The heat within the rice pot will finish cooking the rice.
Make sauce and serve the dessert right away, or store the rice (covered) in the refrigerator until you're ready to use it.
To make the sauce, warm the rest of the can of coconut milk together with 1/4 cup sugar, a pinch of salt, 1 tsp. coconut flavoring and 1 tsp. vanilla flavoring over medium heat (5 minutes).
Add cornstarch or arrowroot powder (dissolved in the water) to the sauce and stir to thicken it slightly. As it thickens, turn down heat to low. When thickened, remove from heat (this should only take a couple of minutes).
Tip: Try not to over-cook the sauce, or you will lose that wonderful coconut flavor.
Before serving, taste-test the sauce for sweetness, adding more sugar if desired. If too sweet for your taste, add a little more coconut milk.

Valentine's Day Dinner Entertaining

Valentine's Day Dinner Entertaining
The key to a successful dinner party is to stay organized by breaking down the work of planning, shopping, and cooking into manageable, do-ahead tasks. Use the following tips as a starting point, and you'll master the skills to hosting a Valentine's Day dinner party with confidence and ease.

The Occasion
Begin by choosing a Valentine's Day theme that will tie the entire party together. Take you cue from the season and the guest list, creating an elegant soiree.

Where and When
Next, choose a day and a location that will fit your desired theme. Look for creative ways to use your space that make the most of its best features, perhaps staging your party in the kitchen, family room, or on the deck. A 7:00pm starting time works well for most dinners. Allow an hour for cocktails and mingling before the meal.

Guest List and Invitations for Valentine's Day
Jot down a list of guests to invite, and round it out by adding people with complementary interests and backgrounds. Add a few extra names in case you need to invite more people. For casual get-togethers, an e-mailed invitation or a phone call is appropriate. More formal parties call for invitations sent through the mail. Don't forget to include all the details, including RSVP information. Allow four to six weeks' advance notice for formal occasions, less for informal ones.

Hosting and Serving Tips

As the guests arrive, pass flutes of chilled Prosecco (Italian sparkling wine) on a napkin-lined tray.
Set the table with good-quality linens and silverware and plain white plates that showcase the food.
Use slender white candles at varying heights to create a warm, welcoming mood.
If you have a fireplace, build a fire and consider serving drinks and appetizers or dessert and coffee beside the hearth.

Thai Red Bean Dessert

Thai Red Bean Dessert : Red Beans are the healthiest dried beans available, rich in antioxidants and loaded with fiber. They also have a naturally sweet flavor which makes them excellent for desserts. Enjoy them in this one of many Thai coconut-based dessert recipes. An easy dessert to make in your slow cooker, either overnight or during the day.

INGREDIENTS:

Serves 4-6
½ cup red adzuki beans
1 ½ cups water
2 cans coconut milk
½ cup Asian-style "pearl" tapioca (very inexpensive at Asian food stores), or regular minute tapioca
2 tsp. vanilla flavoring
½ cup sugar (or more depending on desired sweetness)
pinch of salt
optional: a handful of dried seaweed to eliminate "gas" from the beans (available at Asian grocers)
optional: 2 Tbsp. dry shredded baking-type coconut, as is, or toasted
optional: a few red jelly beans to sprinkle on top

PREPARATION:

Place beans, water, salt, and seaweed (if using) in a slow cooker on “high”. Cook for at least 2 hours, or until beans are soft. (If more convenient, leave the beans to cook on “low” overnight or all day).
Alternatively, you can soak the beans overnight, then cook in a pot on the stove.
Once beans are soft and fully cooked, using a potato masher, mash beans into small pieces.
Tip: If your cooker is made of glass, this can be done directly in the slow cooker, without removing the beans. For slow cookers coated with a non-stick surface, remove beans and mash in a separate bowl, then return to slow cooker to avoid damaging your appliance.
Add 1 can of the coconut milk, sugar, tapioca, and vanilla. Stir well and leave to cook on “high” for another 30-60 minutes. Check occasionally, adding 1 cup of water or more if the pudding becomes too thick.
Do a taste test for sweetness and to make sure your tapioca is cooked (it should no longer taste hard or granular. If using Asian tapioca, the "pearls" will turn transparent). Regular "minute" tapioca may take slightly longer.
Serve warm in bowls or dessert cups. Top the pudding with some coconut cream (the thick creamy milk at the top of the can) to create 2 distinct layers. If desired, add a sprinkling of shredded coconut (dry baking-style coconut) and a few red jelly beans. Enjoy!
