Description
A beloved Thai dessert featuring fragrant glutinous sticky rice soaked in sweet coconut sauce, paired with juicy ripe mangoes and topped with a creamy drizzle and sesame seeds.
Ingredients
2–3 fresh mangoes, peeled and sliced
1 cup glutinous/sweet rice
1 cup coconut milk
1 tablespoon coconut milk (separate for thickening)
¼ cup sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon corn starch
½ teaspoon sesame seeds, for garnish
Instructions
- Soak the glutinous rice for 2 hours or overnight. Drain when ready to use.
- Steam the soaked rice for 20–30 minutes until soft and fully cooked.
- If using a DIY steamer, place foil balls in a pot with water and rest a bowl of rice above. Cover and steam for 20–30 minutes.
- Slice mangoes and set aside.
- In a saucepan, bring 1 cup coconut milk, sugar, and salt to a boil. Once boiled, remove half to a bowl.
- Mix 1 tablespoon coconut milk with cornstarch to make a slurry. Add it to the remaining sauce and boil until thickened.
- Once rice is cooked, transfer to a bowl and mix with the reserved thin coconut sauce. Let it sit and absorb for 15–20 minutes.
- Serve rice with mango slices, drizzle with thickened sauce, and garnish with sesame seeds.
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe mangoes for best flavor and texture.
- Toast coconut flakes or nuts for extra garnish options.
- Store rice and sauce separately; add fresh mango just before serving.
- Adjust sweetness to match mango ripeness or personal preference.
