Step 1

Soak the rice in 1 cup water in a medium pot for 20 to 30 minutes. Do not drain the rice.

Step 2

After soaking, add 1/2 cup more water, 1/2 can of the coconut milk, salt, and 2 tablespoons of the brown sugar. Stir well.

Step 3

Bring to a gentle boil, then partially cover with a lid (leaving some room for steam to escape). Reduce heat to medium-low, or just until you get a gentle simmer.

Step 4

Simmer rice mixture 25-30 minutes until the coconut water has been absorbed by the rice. Turn off the heat but leave the pot on the burner with the lid on tight. Allow to sit for 5 to 10 minutes.

Step 5

To make the sauce, warm (do not boil) the remaining coconut milk over medium-low heat (about 5 minutes). Add 3 tablespoons brown sugar, stirring to dissolve. Taste-test sauce for sweetness, adding more sugar if desired.

Step 6

Dice mangos.

Step 7

Serve mangos with rice and cover with the brown sugar sauce. Enjoy warm!
