Mango with Sticky Rice

Mango with Sticky Rice is a delightful Thai dessert that features sweet, ripe mango slices served atop a bed of creamy coconut sticky rice. This dish perfectly balances the richness of coconut with the fresh sweetness of mango, making it a beloved treat.

Ingredients

• Glutinous rice - 100 grams
• Coconut milk - 200 ml
• Sugar - 50 grams
• Salt - 1/4 teaspoon
• Ripe mango - 1 medium
• Sesame seeds - 1 tablespoon (optional, for garnish)

Steps

1. Rinse the glutinous rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then soak it in water for at least 30 minutes.
2. After soaking, drain the rice and steam it in a bamboo or metal steamer lined with cheesecloth for about 20-25 minutes, or until tender.
3. While the rice is steaming, combine the coconut milk, sugar, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is warmed through (do not boil).
4. Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a bowl and pour about 150 ml of the coconut milk mixture over it, stirring gently to combine. Let it sit for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
5. Peel and slice the ripe mango into thin pieces.
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. Optionally, sprinkle sesame seeds on top for garnish.
