Delicious Thai Mango Sticky Rice Recipe | Dessert Delight

Ingredients

Servings:
6
  • 1 cup glutinous rice (soaked for at least 4 hours)
  • 1 cup coconut milk (unsweetened preferred)
  • 1 cup sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (to enhance flavor)
  • 2 ripe mangoes (peeled and sliced)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (toasted, for garnish)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Rice

    Rinse the soaked glutinous rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then drain.

    Soaking the rice helps to achieve the perfect texture.
  2. Steam the Rice

    Place the rinsed rice in a steamer basket lined with cheesecloth and steam for about 30 minutes until tender.

    Make sure the water doesn't touch the rice.
  3. Make Coconut Sauce

    In a saucepan, combine coconut milk, sugar, and salt. Heat gently until the sugar dissolves.

    Do not boil the coconut milk; just warm it.
  4. Combine Rice and Sauce

    Transfer the steamed rice to a bowl and pour half of the coconut sauce over it. Mix well and let it sit for 15 minutes.

    This step allows the rice to absorb the sauce.
  5. Serve

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

    Garnish with toasted sesame seeds for added texture.
