  1. 1

    Place the rice in a microwave-safe bowl and cover it with several inches of fresh water; let it sit for 30 minutes. Drain off the water so the rice is covered by 1/4 inch of water.

  2. 2

    Microwave the covered rice on High until the water is mostly absorbed but the rice is still wet, about 10 minutes; stir, then cook for 4 more minutes until almost dry.

  3. 3

    In a bowl, mix 1/2 coconut milk with 1 cup sugar, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Pour this over the rice and stir until the rice is coated. Cover and let the rice stand at room temperature for 20 minutes.

  4. 4

    Pour the remaining 1/2 can coconut milk into a saucepan; whisk in the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar, the cornstarch, and the salt until smooth. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, whisking constantly; simmer until thickened, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool.

  5. 5

    Spoon the rice into individual serving bowls; top each portion with about 2 tablespoons of the coconut sauce and several pieces of mango.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products

easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.

The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.

Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.

For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
