Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a medium saucepan, combine water and rice. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the water is fully absorbed. (15-20 minutes). Let it stand for 10 minutes, covered.

02

Step

In a separate small saucepan, whisk together coconut milk, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring frequently. Remove from heat.

03

Step

Reserve 1/3 cup of the coconut milk mixture for the sauce. Gently fold the remaining mixture into the cooked rice. Cover and let cool for 1 hour.

04

Step

For the sauce, whisk together the reserved coconut milk mixture and tapioca starch in the small saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring constantly, until thickened (about 2 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in the passion fruit puree.

05

Step

Just before serving, stir the rice gently. Drizzle generously with the passion fruit sauce and garnish with fresh pomegranate arils.

For an extra layer of flavor, toast the glutinous rice in a dry pan for a few minutes before cooking.
If passion fruit is unavailable, substitute with equal parts of mango and lime juice.
The rice and sauce can be prepared in advance and stored separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
