Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups sushi rice, such as Nishiki
- 1 14-oz. can light coconut milk, divided
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 3 fresh mangoes, peeled and sliced
Preparation
- Combine rice, 2 1/2 cups water, 1/2 cup coconut milk, and brown sugar in large saucepan. Cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

- Spoon warm rice onto serving plates. Top each serving with mango slices.
