Mango Sticky Rice Recipe - A Delicious Southeast Asian Delight

Ingredients

Servings:
8
  • 1 cup glutinous rice (soaked for at least 2 hours)
  • 1 cup coconut milk (preferably unsweetened)
  • 1 cup sugar (can adjust based on sweetness preference)
  • 1 large ripe mango (peeled and sliced)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (to enhance flavor)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Rice

    Rinse the glutinous rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak in water for at least 2 hours, then drain.

    For best results, soak the rice overnight.
  2. Steam the Rice

    Place the soaked rice in a steamer lined with cheesecloth. Steam for about 20-25 minutes until tender.

    Make sure to keep the water boiling while steaming.
  3. Prepare Coconut Sauce

    In a saucepan, combine coconut milk, sugar, and salt. Heat over low heat until sugar dissolves, do not boil.

    Reserve a few tablespoons of coconut sauce for drizzling later.
  4. Combine Rice and Coconut Sauce

    Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a bowl and pour half of the coconut sauce over it. Mix well and let it sit for 10 minutes.

    This allows the rice to absorb the flavors.
  5. Serve

    To serve, place a portion of the sticky rice on a plate, top with sliced mango, and drizzle with the reserved coconut sauce.

    Garnish with sesame seeds or mung beans for added texture.
