Durian Sticky Rice

I always try a new recipe containing durian when I visit my parents. This time, we had some leftover sticky rice to use up, and so I made durian sticky rice! I used a recipe adapted from this recipe for Coconut Sticky Rice with Mango. (Mangoes aren’t currently in season, so durian was a great option!)

Durian sticky rice

The steps are pretty easy:

  1. Steam the sticky rice for about 25-30 minutes.
  2. Make a coconut syrup by heating a can of coconut milk with 3/4 cup sugar (or however much according to your preference) and a pinch of salt (medium heat).
  3. After the sticky rice is done, mix in half of the coconut syrup and let it sit for about 30 minutes.
  4. Spoon some of the sticky rice into a bowl and top with some slightly mashed durian.
  5. Add more of the coconut syrup, and some toasted sesame seeds if you’d like.
