Description
A delightful Thai dessert combining sweet sticky rice and ripe mangoes, drizzled with creamy coconut sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup sticky rice (glutinous rice), rinsed until water runs clear and soaked for 4-6 hours
- 1.5 cups coconut milk (for sauce and drizzling)
- 0.5 cup sugar (adjust based on sweetness preference)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 ripe mangoes, sliced
- to taste sesame seeds or mung beans (optional garnish)
Instructions
- Begin by rinsing the sticky rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
- Soak the rinsed rice in water for 4 to 6 hours or overnight to soften.
- After soaking, drain the rice and place it in a steamer lined with cheesecloth. Steam the rice for about 20 to 30 minutes until it becomes translucent and sticky.
- While the rice is steaming, prepare the coconut sauce. In a small pot, combine the coconut milk, sugar, and salt. Heat gently until the sugar dissolves, but do not boil.
- Once the rice is cooked, remove it from the steamer and mix half of the coconut sauce into the rice, letting it soak for a few minutes.
- To serve, place a portion of the sticky rice on a plate alongside slices of ripe mango. Drizzle the remaining coconut sauce over the top. If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds or mung beans for garnish.
Notes
Best served warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
