Thai Mango Sticky Rice
This Thai Mango Sticky Rice is a harmonious blend of sweet, juicy mango and creamy coconut-infused sticky rice. Topped with a drizzle of coconut sauce, it offers a delightful contrast of textures and flavors.
Ingredients
- 1 cup glutinous rice, rinsed and soaked for at least 4 hours
- 1 1/2 cups
- 2 tablespoons sugar, adjust for sweetness preference
- 1/4 teaspoons salt
- 1 can coconut milk, approximately 14 oz.
- 2 whole ripe mangos, peeled and sliced
- sesame seeds, for garnish, optional
- mint leaves, for garnish, optional
Directions
In a medium bowl, combine the rinsed glutinous rice with water and soak for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Drain the soaked rice, then place it in a steamer lined with cheesecloth or a steaming basket for 20 minutes until tender.
In a saucepan, combine coconut milk, sugar, and salt over low heat, stirring until dissolved and slightly thickened, about 5-7 minutes.
In a separate bowl, mix half of the coconut sauce with the hot sticky rice and let it sit for about 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Plate a generous portion of the sticky rice, top with sliced mango, and drizzle with the remaining coconut sauce.
Optionally, garnish with sesame seeds and mint leaves for added flavor and presentation.
