Mango Sticky Rice

Mango Sticky Rice is a delightful American twist on a classic Thai dessert, combining sweet mango with creamy coconut-infused sticky rice. This healthy version uses whole grain rice and a touch of honey, making it a guilt-free indulgence.

Ingredients

• glutinous rice - 100 grams
• coconut milk - 100 ml
• honey - 1 tablespoon (15 ml)
• salt - 1/4 teaspoon
• mango - 1 medium, ripe
• sesame seeds - 1 tablespoon, toasted

Steps

1. Rinse the glutinous rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in water for 4 hours or overnight for best results.
2. Drain the soaked rice and steam it in a bamboo or metal steamer for about 20 minutes, or until the grains are translucent and sticky.
3. While the rice is steaming, combine the coconut milk, honey, and salt in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir until the honey is dissolved and the mixture is warm, but do not boil.
4. Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a bowl and pour about half of the coconut milk mixture over the rice. Stir well to combine and let the rice absorb the flavors for about 10 minutes.
5. Peel and slice the ripe mango into thin strips.
6. To serve, place a portion of the sticky rice on a plate, top with mango slices, and drizzle with the remaining coconut milk mixture. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on top for added crunch.
