Description
Mango Sticky Rice is a delicious Thai dessert made with glutinous rice, coconut milk, and ripe mangoes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups glutinous rice (also known as sweet rice)
- 1 ½ cups coconut milk
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and sliced
- Sesame seeds or mung beans for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Rinse the glutinous rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in water for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results. Drain the rice before cooking.
- In a steamer basket lined with cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel, place the soaked rice and steam over boiling water for about 30-35 minutes, or until the rice is tender and sticky.
- While the rice is steaming, combine the coconut milk, sugar, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves, but do not let it boil. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Once the rice is done steaming, transfer it to a large bowl and pour about 1 cup of the coconut milk mixture over the rice. Stir gently to combine. Let it sit for about 20-30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- To serve, place a portion of the sticky rice on a plate, top with sliced mango, and drizzle with the remaining coconut milk mixture. Garnish with sesame seeds or mung beans if desired.
Notes
- For a creamier texture, use full-fat coconut milk.
- If you prefer a sweeter dish, add more sugar to the coconut milk mixture.
- You can also substitute mango with other fruits like ripe bananas or strawberries for a different flavor.
