Mango Sticky Rice

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup glutinous rice (sticky rice)
  • 1 1/2 cups coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and sliced
  • Toasted sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the 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 soaked rice and steam it in a bamboo or metal steamer for about 30-40 minutes, or until the rice is tender and cooked through.
  2. Prepare the Coconut Sauce:
    • In a saucepan, combine the coconut milk, granulated sugar, and salt. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Do not let it boil.
  3. Combine Rice and Coconut Sauce:
    • Transfer the cooked sticky rice to a bowl. Gradually pour about half of the prepared coconut sauce over the rice and gently fold it in to coat the rice. Allow the rice to absorb the sauce for about 20-30 minutes.
  4. Serve:
    • To serve, place a portion of the coconut-coated sticky rice on a plate or bowl. Arrange slices of ripe mango on the side.
    • Drizzle more of the coconut sauce over the rice and mango slices.
    • Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on top for added flavor and garnish.
  5. Enjoy:
    • Mango Sticky Rice is traditionally served warm or at room temperature. Enjoy this luscious Thai dessert that combines the sweetness of ripe mangoes with the creamy and chewy texture of sticky rice.
