Description
Sweet Mango Sticky Rice is a traditional Thai dessert that combines glutinous rice, sweet coconut milk, and ripe mango for a delicious treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup glutinous sticky rice
- Water for soaking and steaming
- 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
- 4 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup coconut milk (for topping)
- 1 tablespoon sugar (for topping)
- Pinch of salt (for topping)
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 2 teaspoons water (optional for thickening)
- 2 ripe mangoes, peeled, pitted, and sliced
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds or mung beans (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Rinse sticky rice under cold running water until water runs clear. Soak rice in cold water for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Drain soaked rice and transfer to cheesecloth-lined steamer basket. Steam over boiling water for 25 to 30 minutes until rice is tender and translucent.
- Combine 1 cup coconut milk, 4 tablespoons sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in saucepan. Heat gently over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until sugar dissolves completely. Do not bring to boil.
- Transfer steamed rice to mixing bowl. Pour warm sweetened coconut milk over rice and stir thoroughly to combine. Cover bowl and let rice absorb liquid for 15 minutes.
- In small saucepan, combine 1/3 cup coconut milk, 1 tablespoon sugar, and pinch of salt. If thickened sauce is preferred, add cornstarch slurry. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened, approximately 3 to 5 minutes.
- Mound portions of coconut-infused sticky rice onto serving plates. Arrange mango slices alongside rice. Drizzle with warm coconut topping. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds or mung beans if desired.
Notes
- For the best texture, soak the rice overnight.
- Ensure the rice is thoroughly steamed for a chewy consistency.
- Adjust the sweetness of the coconut sauce according to your taste.
