Sticky rice with Black Bean in coconut milk

This easy Thai dessert is one of my favorite dessert. 

Actually, it came from the fact that my grandmother loved to eat it, so she always bought it and I always enjoyed it with her. 

It's a combination of Black Bean in Coconut Milk and Sticky rice with coconut milk, that both of them are not hard to make, esp. when you have a microwave. As the recipe for Sticky rice with coconut milk is the recipe that I developed it a long time ago, when I just got my new microwave, haha. Not only that you can use it in this recipe, but you can also serve this Sticky rice with coconut milk with mango to make one of the most famous Mango sticky rice too.

For Black Bean in Coconut Milk, you need to boil the bean until really soft before boiling it in the coconut milk, because when boiling with the sugar, the sugar will tighten the beans, and it won't become softer.

If you love coconut milk, I really want you to try this recipe ^^, it's easy and delicious.
