Description
Enjoy the delightful taste of Thai Mango Sticky Rice, a classic dessert featuring sweet coconut milk-infused sticky rice paired with fresh, ripe mango slices. It’s a simple yet incredibly satisfying treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups glutinous rice
- 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk, divided
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar, divided
- 1 teaspoon salt, divided
- 1 ripe mango, peeled and sliced
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Rinse the glutinous rice thoroughly until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in water for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Drain the soaked rice and steam it for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and cooked through.
- While the rice is steaming, gently heat 1 cup of coconut milk with 1/4 cup of sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of salt in a saucepan over low heat. Stir until the sugar and salt are dissolved. Do not boil.
- Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a bowl. Pour the warm coconut milk mixture over the hot rice. Gently stir to combine, ensuring all the rice is coated. Cover the bowl and let it sit for at least 20 minutes to allow the rice to absorb the coconut milk.
- In a separate small saucepan, heat the remaining 1/2 cup of coconut milk with the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of salt over low heat. Stir until the sugar and salt are dissolved. This is your coconut sauce.
- To serve, spoon the sticky rice onto plates. Arrange the sliced mango alongside the rice. Drizzle some of the warm coconut sauce over the rice and mango. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds if desired.
Notes
- Ensure your mango is ripe and sweet for the best flavor.
- Adjust the sugar to your preference.
- For a richer flavor, use full-fat coconut milk.
