Description

Mango Sticky Rice is a classic Thai dessert made with sweet, creamy coconut milk poured over glutinous rice and served with fresh, ripe mango slices. It’s a perfect balance of sweet, creamy, and fruity flavors.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Sticky Rice:

  • 1 ½ cups glutinous rice (sticky rice)
  • 1 ¾ cups water (for steaming)
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • ⅓ cup sugar
  • ½ tsp salt

For the Coconut Sauce:

  • ½ cup coconut milk
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • ¼ tsp salt

For Serving:

  • 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and sliced
  • Optional: Toasted sesame seeds or mung beans for garnish

Instructions

Prepare the Sticky Rice:

  1. Rinse the glutinous rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
  2. Soak the rice in water for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  3. Drain the rice and steam it in a bamboo steamer or a regular steamer for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and translucent.

Make the Coconut Sauce for the Rice:

  1. In a saucepan, combine 1 cup coconut milk, sugar, and salt. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Do not boil.
  2. Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a bowl and pour the warm coconut mixture over it. Stir gently to combine. Let it sit for 15-20 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Prepare the Coconut Topping Sauce:

  1. In a separate saucepan, combine ½ cup coconut milk, sugar, and salt. Heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens slightly. Set aside.

Assemble the Dish:

  1. Slice the mangoes and set aside.
  2. Place a portion of the sticky rice on a plate, add mango slices alongside, and drizzle the coconut topping sauce over the rice.
  3. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds or mung beans if desired.
