Sticky rice with Mango
Sticky rice with mango is my favorite Thai dessert. Steamed glutinous rice is soaked in a coconut milk, served with mangos and topped with a coconut sauce. Also great for breakfast!

Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup sticky rice
- 1 1/2 cups coconut milk, preferably Aroy-D, divided
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 t plus 1 pinch salt, divided
- 1 ripe mango, peeled and sliced
- 1 1/2 t rice flour
- Mint sprigs for garnish
- Toassted sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Wash and rinse your rice well. Put the rice in a bowl, add water and vigorously swish the rice around with your hands to loosen any powder. Drain the rice and repeat 2-3 more times until the water runs clear. Add more water to the bowl so that the rice is covered by about 2 inches of water. Cover with a cloth and set aside for 6 to 8 hours, or overnight.
- Wrap the rice in a cheesecloth to make a flat packet. Place in the bottom of a Thai rice steaming basket. Add a few inches of water to the metal steamer and bring to a boil. Place the basket on top of the steamer. The water should not be touching the basket and reduce the heat to a simmer. Put an 8″ pot lid on top of the rice. Steam for 15 minutes. Flip the rice bundle and steam for another 15 minutes. Rice is done when it is tender throughout the rice grain. When rice is done, remove it from the steamer, remove the cheesecloth and let it cool in a bowl.
- In a separate pot simmer 1 cup coconut milk, sugar and 1 t salt in a pan over low heat. Bring almost to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Pour coconut mixture over sticky rice, toss and turn until it is well-combined. Loosely cover and let rice sit at least 30 minutes to absorb the sugared coconut milk. The rice can sit at room temperature for several hours.
- Prepare a topping by combining 1/2 cup coconut milk, a pinch of salt and 1 1/2 t rice flour in a small pan. Bring to a near boil and turn down to low heat. Simmer for about 10 minutes until the sauce has thickened.
- Mound the sticky rice on a serving platter and surround with mango slices. Serve the rice with the topping on the side. Garnish with sesame seeds and mint sprigs.
