Description
Indulge in the captivating sweetness and creamy texture of authentic Mango Sticky Rice, a beloved Thai dessert that’s surprisingly easy to make at home. This foolproof recipe delivers a divine, 20-minute treat that will transport you to the bustling streets of Bangkok.
Ingredients
– 1 cup Thai sticky rice, soaked for at least 4 hours or overnight
– 1 cup coconut milk
– 1/2 cup white sugar
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and sliced
– 2 tablespoons toasted coconut flakes (for garnish)
Instructions
1. Rinse the soaked sticky rice in a fine-mesh strainer until the water runs clear.
2. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed sticky rice, coconut milk, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
3. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed the coconut milk.
4. Remove the pan from heat and let the rice sit, covered, for 5 minutes.
5. Serve the warm sticky rice in bowls, topped with fresh mango slices and a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes.
Notes
For a creamier texture, stir in an extra splash of coconut milk after the rice has cooked. You can also try adding a drizzle of sweetened condensed milk or a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds as a finishing touch.
