Mango Sticky Rice
Mango Sticky Rice is a traditional Thai dessert presenting soft, slightly sticky glutinous rice served with ripe mango slices and a rich coconut sauce thickened with cornstarch. Cooking the rice in an Instant Pot or steaming results in a tender texture. The sweet coconut sauce adds creaminess that balances the fragrant mango’s freshness, making it a refreshing yet satisfying treat.

Ingredients
- 3 Mango small
Instant Pot Cook Rice:
- 1 cup glutinous rice
- ⅔ cup water
Coconut Sauce:
- 1 can coconut milk (14 fl oz or 400 ml)
- ¾ cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon corn starch
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
- Wash and drain 1 cup of glutinous rice very well. Pour a cup of water and put a rack inside the instant pot.
- Then, put a bowl in the pressure cooker, add 1 cup washed glutinous rice and ⅔ cup water in the container. Level it and make sure all the rice is covered with water. Close the lid and vent manual for 30 minutes at high pressure and natural release.
- While the rice is cooking, pour a can of coconut milk into a pot. Add ¾ cup sugar and turn on a small fire and keep stirring until it’s bubbling.(You can use more or less sugar depending on your sweetness.)
- Mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of water in a container. Then, add the cornstarch mixture slowly in the coconut milk until it thickens. ( The sauce will thicken when it cools off.)
- Peel off skin and slice 3 small mangoes.
- When the rice is ready, put the cooked glutinous rice, mango and sweet coconut sauce on top of the sticky rice and mango.

Notes
- If steaming rice in a bamboo basket, soak glutinous rice for 1 to 2 hours before cooking and steam for 20–25 minutes until soft.
- Level the rice in the cooking container and ensure it is fully covered with water for even cooking.
- The ARoy-D brand coconut milk is preferred for creaminess, but other brands can be used.
- Adjust sugar in coconut sauce to taste; remember the sauce thickens as it cools.
