Mango Sticky Rice
Thailand
⏱ — min. Serves: —

Ingredients

  • 1 cup glutinous (sticky) rice
  • 1 1/2 cups coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and sliced
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Prepare the Sticky Rice

Rinse the glutinous rice under cold water until the water runs clear.

Soak the rice in water for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Drain the rice and steam it in a bamboo steamer or a heatproof bowl set over boiling water for 25-30 minutes, or until tender.

Prepare the Coconut Sauce

While the rice is steaming, combine the coconut milk, sugar, and salt in a saucepan.

Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is fully dissolved. Do not let it boil.

Remove from heat and set aside.

Combine the Rice and Coconut Sauce

Once the sticky rice is cooked, transfer it to a large mixing bowl.

Pour 1 cup of the warm coconut sauce over the rice and stir to combine.

Cover the bowl and let the rice absorb the coconut sauce for about 20-30 minutes.

Serve

Arrange the sticky rice on a serving plate.

Place the sliced mangoes alongside the rice.

Drizzle the remaining coconut sauce over the rice.

Garnish with toasted sesame seeds if desired.

Enjoy your meal!
