Thai Coconut Black Sticky Rice, also known as Kao Niew Dum Manao, is a popular dessert in Thailand. It is often served at special occasions such as weddings and birthdays, but can also be enjoyed as a simple treat at home. This rice pudding-like dish has a unique, nutty flavor and a creamy texture that is enhanced by the sweetened coconut milk. It is vegan-friendly and perfect for those looking for a special dessert that is a little bit different from the usual.

Instructions

1.	Rinse the black sticky rice until the water runs clear.
2.	Place the rice in a saucepan and add water, making sure to cover the rice by about an inch.
3.	Bring the rice to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pan. Cook until the water has been absorbed and the rice is tender, about 35-40 minutes.
4.	In a separate saucepan, combine the coconut milk, sugar, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture has thickened slightly.
5.	Once the rice is cooked, remove it from the heat and let it sit for 10 minutes.
6.	Fluff the rice with a fork, then pour the coconut milk mixture over the rice and stir until well-combined.
