Watermelon Sushi Coconut Mint (Print Version)

Juicy watermelon paired with coconut-infused sticky rice and mint delivers a delightful fusion treat.

# Ingredients:

→ Rice

01 - 1 cup glutinous rice

02 - 1 cup coconut milk

03 - 2 tablespoons sugar

04 - 1/4 teaspoon salt

→ Fruit

05 - 1 small seedless watermelon

06 - Fresh mint leaves, for garnish

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Rinse glutinous rice under cold water until water runs clear. Soak the rice in water for at least 1 hour, then drain thoroughly.

02 - In a saucepan, combine drained rice, coconut milk, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat, reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until rice is tender and liquid absorbed.

03 - While the rice cooks, cut the seedless watermelon into rectangular slices, approximately 1.5 cm thick. Trim slices into small rectangles or squares, resembling sushi pieces.

04 - Allow the cooked coconut sticky rice to cool slightly until just warm.

05 - Place a slice of watermelon on a platter, top with a spoonful of coconut sticky rice, and press gently to adhere.

06 - Arrange assembled pieces on a serving platter and garnish with fresh mint leaves.

# Additional Notes:

01 - For added sweetness, consider drizzling agave syrup or honey over the finished dish.

02 - You may substitute other fruits such as mango or pineapple to vary the flavor.
