Description
A delightful Thai dessert of sticky rice served with sweet coconut milk and ripe mango slices, perfect for warm evenings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup sticky rice
- 1 1/2 cups coconut milk
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 ripe mangoes
- Sesame seeds or mung beans for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Rinse the sticky rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then soak it in water for at least 1 hour or overnight.
- Steam the soaked rice in a steamer basket lined with cheesecloth for about 30 minutes until it’s tender.
- In a saucepan, combine the coconut milk, sugar, and salt. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves, then remove from heat.
- Reserve about 1/4 cup of the coconut milk mixture for serving. Pour the remaining mixture over the cooked rice and stir well. Let it sit for about 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Peel and slice the mangoes into thin wedges, letting their gorgeous yellow hues shine.
- To serve, place a portion of the sticky rice on a plate, top with mango slices, and drizzle with the reserved coconut milk. Garnish with sesame seeds or mung beans if desired.
Notes
For best results, soak the rice overnight. Pair with Thai iced tea or coconut sorbet.
