Thai Mango Sticky Rice
Description
This recipe prepares sticky rice cooked according to package instructions, then combined with full-fat canned coconut milk and sugar to infuse it with a rich, creamy sweetness. After mixing, the rice is chilled to allow the flavors to meld and cool for serving. The ripe mango is peeled and sliced to provide a fresh, juicy component that balances the dense texture of the rice.
The dish brings together the mild sweetness and creaminess of the coconut-infused sticky rice with the bright, fresh flavor of ripe mango. The contrasting textures and flavors are characteristic of this Thai dessert. Optionally, toasted or plain sesame seeds sprinkled over the top add a delicate nutty aroma and visual appeal.
For a more pronounced sauce, a cornstarch slurry can be used to thicken extra coconut cream or milk with added sweetener, which can be poured over the rice and mango when serving. Flavor variations include simmering the coconut milk with a pandan leaf to impart a subtle aromatic note. Adjust sweetener to taste for preferred sweetness levels.

Instructions

Notes
- Adjust sweetness incrementally to suit your preference when mixing coconut milk and sugar.
- To thicken the sauce, simmer coconut milk with a teaspoon of cornstarch slurry until it reaches desired consistency.
