How to Make Thai Mango Sticky Sweet Rice Dessert

  1. Rinse 1 cup of glutinous rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in 1 cup of water for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight.
  2. Drain the soaked rice completely.
  3. Steam the rice in a steamer basket or rice cooker for 30 minutes, or until cooked through and sticky. If using a cheesecloth, ensure the rice is evenly distributed.
  4. While the rice is steaming, prepare the coconut sauce: In a saucepan, combine 1 (13.5 ounce) can of full-fat coconut milk, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
  5. Bring the coconut milk mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from heat and set aside.
  6. Once the rice is steamed, gently transfer it to a bowl. Add about 2/3 of the coconut milk mixture to the rice, stirring carefully to coat every grain.
  7. You can either continue to steam the rice in a rice cooker for another 10-15 minutes to allow the rice to fully absorb the coconut milk, or gently heat it on the stovetop if needed. The rice should be sticky but not mushy.
  8. Divide the sticky rice into two serving bowls.
  9. Top each serving with the chopped mangoes.
  10. Drizzle the remaining coconut milk sauce generously over the rice and mangoes.
  11. Serve warm or chilled. Enjoy!
