Step 1
Rinse black rice under cold water until water runs clear, about 1 minute. Drain well.
Step 2
Heat oil in a small skillet over medium. Fry shallots, stirring often, until golden and crispy, 5–6 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel to drain.
Step 3
In a medium saucepan, combine rice, coconut milk, and 0.5 cups water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover.
Step 4
Simmer covered until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 15–17 minutes. Do not stir.
Step 5
Stir in palm sugar until dissolved. Divide rice between two bowls.
Step 6
Top with crispy shallots, peanuts, and mango slices. Squeeze lime over each bowl and serve immediately.
