Mango Sticky Rice

Indulge in the tropical delight of Mango Sticky Rice, a Thai classic that combines sweet, ripe mangoes with creamy coconut-infused glutinous rice. Perfect for a refreshing dessert on warm evenings or special occasions.

• 1 cup glutinous rice
• 1 cup coconut milk
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 medium ripe mangoes
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Method

1. 1

   Rinse the glutinous rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak it in water for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.

2. 2

   Drain the soaked rice and steam it in a bamboo or metal steamer for about 25-30 minutes until tender.

3. 3

   In a saucepan, combine the coconut milk, sugar, and salt. Heat over low to medium heat until the sugar dissolves, but do not let it boil.

4. 4

   Once the rice is done, mix about 3/4 of the coconut milk mixture into the steamed rice. Stir well to combine and let it sit for about 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.

5. 5

   To serve, place a portion of the sticky rice on a plate, top with sliced mangoes, and drizzle with the remaining coconut milk mixture.

6. 6

   Garnish with sesame seeds if desired, and enjoy your Mango Sticky Rice warm or at room temperature.
