Thai Mango Sticky Rice
Thai Mango Sticky Rice features sticky rice infused with coconut milk and sugar, served chilled alongside ripe mango slices. The creamy, slightly sweet coconut rice complements the juicy, fragrant mango, creating a traditional Thai dessert with contrasting textures—soft and sticky rice paired with tender fruit. Optional sesame seeds add subtle nuttiness and garnish.
Ingredients
- 1 cup sticky rice
- ⅔ cup of water
- 1 cup coconut milk from a can, full-fat
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 Mango peeled and sliced, ripe
- sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- To cook the rice, follow the instructions on the package.
- Once it's finished, add the coconut milk and sugar and stir well. Let sit in the refrigerator for about an hour to cool off. Serve with slices of mango and the optional sesame seeds.
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.
- For extra sauce, make a topping by boiling coconut cream or coconut milk with sweetener and thickening as needed, then pour over the mango sticky rice.
- Enhance flavor by infusing coconut milk and sugar with a pandan leaf during simmering for a subtle aroma.
