The other day I was schlepping around my food co-op looking for unique ingredients. I am sort of bored with my everyday food stuffs, so I want to start branching out. Cooking new recipes keeps me from heading to the golden arches out of boredom and keeps me in my own kitchen.
I love coconut sticky rice. I first discovered Thai Coconut Sticky Rice at my local Thai restaurant. It took one bite for my to fall in love with the complex flavor and the texture. Top it off with some tangy Mango and you have mouth explosion. The good kind of mouth explosion.
I came across PURPLE Thai Sticky Rice and decided it needed to be my newest foodie find. The rice has a purple shell that cracks open and makes the rice a deep purple as it boils.

- 1.5 C Purple Thai Sticky Rice/ or Jasmine or Basmati (you pick)

Yummmmm! The hubs bought me a bunch of foodie stuff at Christmas, and the purple rice was one of them. Haven’t tried it yet. Will have to give this a go!

That looks great! And coconut milk is the only way that coconut gets added to anything that I will eat, so this is definitely a go!
