Sweet rice recipe??...I want to make with fresh fruit.?

Question

I bought some "Sweet rice" at the store and I want to use it. I was thinking of some sort of Thai/asian sweet rice recipe. I have mango, strawberry's and blackberries.

Any ideas of what I can USING the "sweet rice"

I looks like you either have to:

A) Let the "Sweet rice" sit overnight :(
or
B) Let it sit for 6-8 hours...pretty much, overnight :(

Can I usu regular "minute" rice instead?? :)

Rice Pudding with Flaming Bananas

1 quart milk
1/2 cup uncooked long-grain white rice, plus 2 Tbsp.
Pinch salt
1/2 cup sugar, plus 1 Tbsp.
2 egg yolks
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp grated nutmeg
3/4 cup heavy cream
2 Tbsp. dark rum
6 Tbsp. butter, diced
1/3 cup light brown sugar
4 small bananas, peeled and sliced 1/4-inch-thick
2 Tbsp. banana liqueur
Garnish: XXX sugar, ground cinnamon, cinnamon sticks

Combine the milk, rice, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook at a low simmer, stirring frequently, until the rice is tender, 35 to 40 minutes. In a mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup sugar, the egg yolks, vanilla, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, and the nutmeg. Add this mixture to the rice and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, for about 4 minutes, or until the mixture thickens. Remove from the heat and let cool.

Mix together 1/2 cup cream, the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar, and the rum, in a mixing bowl. Using a handheld mixer, beat until soft peaks form. Fold into the cooled rice mixture. Refrigerate for 1 hour.

Melt the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the brown sugar, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Add the remaining cinnamon and the bananas. Cook for 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat and add the liqueur. Place the pan back over the heat and flame the liqueur. Shaking the pan constantly, cook for 30 seconds. Stir in the remaining 1/4 cup cream and remove from the heat. Spoon the banana sauce in each of 4 bowls. Spoon the pudding into the bowls and top with a little more banana sauce. Garnish with confectioners' sugar, ground cinnamon, and cinnamon sticks.

Steamed Glutinous Rice with Coconut and Mango

1 pound glutinous rice (2 1/4 cups)
½ cup unsweetened coconut milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 large ripe mango, diced
½ tsp coarse ground white pepper
1 large banana leaf or cheesecloth
½ cup toasted unsweetened coconut

Wash rice until water is clear. Cover rice with cold water and vanilla extract and soak overnight. Drain rice and place in steamer lined with banana leaf or cheesecloth. If using leaf, make sure there is a 2 to 3-inch circle in the middle and small holes punched out. This will allow steam to pass through the leaf. Steam on high heat for 45 minutes, rice should be fully cooked but not mushy. Transfer hot rice to a large bowl and add peppercorns, mango and coconut. Serve while hot. Garnish with toasted coconut.

Answer 2

When i was a kid my mom made sweet rice with just regular long grained rice, she would boil the rice in milk and at the end add butter and sugar to taste, it is really good and cheap, i would be good with any kind of fruit i think. I don't know if that helped at all :)

Answer 3

You are going to think I am crazy but this is a quickie that should work for you. Make the rice or use minute rice. Once it has cooled, add a cup of vanilla ice cream and the fruit. Stir it up and enjoy. You may have to add a little sugar or sugar substitute but that's about it.

Answer 4

Rice that is labeled "sweet rice" isn't any sweeter than regular. It is usually found in asian markets. It is a short grained sticky rice, starchier than arborio. It is used to make rice puddings as well as savory dishes. You could cook it with sweet spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger), sweeten it to taste, chill it and top it off with a mixture of fresh fruits. It will clump together, something like tapioca does, not cook into separate grains

Answer 5

There's a mexican restaurant called Bajio and they serve sweet rice in their burritos and tacos and on the side with beans. It makes a great filler inside a tortilla and taste great with pico de gallo and other types of salsas and chutney's (like mango)

Answer 6

Yes, use that mango juice instead of water. let the mango marinate for about 30 minutes in h2o. goes great with salmon...
