Coconut Frushi


Ingredients:
1.25 cups water
1 cup uncooked sushi rice or other short-grain rice
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup light coconut milk
Dash of salt
cooking spray
Small pieces of fruit (I especially like using raspberries, blueberries and kiwi)

Directions:
Bring water and rice to a boil in a medium saucepan. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 15 minutes or until water is almost absorbed. Remove from heat; let stand, covered, 15 minutes.
Place rice in a large bowl. Add sugar, coconut milk, and salt, stirring gently until well combined. Cover and let stand 20 minutes.
Lightly coat hands with cooking spray. Divide rice mixture into equal portions, shaping each into a ball (about 1 rounded tablespoon each). Lightly press each rice ball into an oval between palms; place ovals on a baking sheet lined with wax paper. Top each of the ovals with fruit pieces and press gently to adhere. Cover and chill frushi until ready to serve.

  1. Have you been to Orange? Over-priced, but the frushi is my favorite. I'm super excited to have a recipe. For realism, a slice of mango laid across the top looks just like a slimy piece of sashimi! :)
