Ingredients
Scale
Sticky Rice and Mango:
- 1.5 cups glutinous rice
- 2 ripe mangoes
Coconut Sauce:
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
Garnish and Topping:
- 2 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
- 2 tbsp coconut cream
- 1 tbsp water for drizzling
Instructions
- Rinse glutinous rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear, removing excess starch.
- Soak the rice in water for at least 4 hours or overnight to ensure even cooking and soft texture.
- Drain the rice and steam in a traditional bamboo steamer or rice cooker for approximately 20-25 minutes until completely tender and translucent.
- While rice steams, prepare the coconut sauce by combining coconut milk, sugar, and salt in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves completely.
- Simmer the coconut sauce for 3-5 minutes until slightly thickened, then remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
- Peel and slice ripe mangoes into elegant, uniform pieces, ensuring they are at peak ripeness for maximum sweetness.
- Transfer steamed rice to a large mixing bowl and gently fold in half of the prepared coconut sauce, allowing the rice to absorb the liquid.
- Let the rice rest for 10 minutes to fully incorporate the coconut flavor and achieve a creamy consistency.
- Plate the coconut-infused sticky rice and arrange mango slices alongside or on top.
- Drizzle remaining coconut sauce over the rice and mango.
- Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds across the dish for added texture and nutty flavor.
- Finish by garnishing with a light drizzle of coconut cream for extra richness.
- Serve immediately at room temperature for the most authentic Thai dessert experience.
Notes
- Rinse rice meticulously to remove excess starch, ensuring a cleaner and smoother texture for your sticky rice.
- Soaking glutinous rice overnight helps break down complex starches, creating a softer, more tender final dish that melts in your mouth.
- Choose ultra-ripe mangoes with vibrant yellow color and slight give when gently pressed for maximum sweetness and authentic tropical flavor.
- Adjust coconut sauce sweetness by gradually adding sugar, tasting as you go to achieve your preferred level of richness without overwhelming the delicate mango and rice balance.
