Notes
- Frequently asked questions and tips
- Can I use regular rice? Of course. Traditionally, Thai food uses jasmine rice which is indigenous to Thailand. Its fragrant taste makes it ideal.
- How ripe does the mango need to be for mango sticky rice? For the mangoes, make sure they are ripe, but not overly ripe. You can cut your own, or buy them sliced/cubed. I've always been challenged when cutting mangoes, and I grew up in the tropics. Go figure! So who cuts my mangoes? My husband of course!
- How long can you keep mango sticky rice in the fridge? It is best to eat it right away. You can store it sealed in the refrigerator for about 2 days.
- Can you microwave mango sticky rice? You can microwave it to reheat it, but not the mangoes. In Thailand, this dish is not always served hot. It really depends on the cook. Try it both hot and cool and see what you like best.
- Is mango sticky rice difficult to make? The process to make the dish is pretty simple. While the rice is cooking, make the sweet coconut syrup in a sauce pan. Combine the two with cool slices of mango on the side when it's all done.
