Coconut Sticky Rice with Nectarine

Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups sushi rice
  • 1.3 cups coconut milk
  • 1/3 cup sugar + 3 tbsp
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 large nectarine, chopped
Wash rice well until water runs clear. Soak rice in cold water for several hours (preferably overnight).
Put rice and milk and sugar and salt in a pot and cook until the rice is done. Add more milk if necessary.
Put chopped nectarines on top.

Thoughts: Christ. Everything that could have gone wrong in this recipe did. The original recipe tried to get us to cook the rice by suspending it in a sieve over a pot of boiling water and steaming it. But we tried this for like, 45 minutes and it wasn't cooking. So we were like "screw this" and just boiled it as indicated above.
The nectarines were also awful. The original recipe calls for mango, but the only mango we had left was rotten, so we had to throw it out. And we were like "what other fruit could we use?" And all we had was a nectarine. The nectarine was not ripe. It was crunchy and tasteless. So we tried to cook it in some water until it softened. This took forever. And when it was done, it tasted awful.

Disaster Index: 4/10: Dan says 3 and I say 5.
