Mango Sticky Rice
This dessert is not only delicious but also incredibly easy to make. Here’s what you’ll need:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup glutinous rice
- 1 1/2 cups coconut milk
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and sliced
- Sesame seeds or mung beans for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Start by soaking the glutinous rice in water for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible. This step is crucial for achieving the right texture.
- Once the rice has soaked, drain it and steam the rice in a bamboo or metal steamer lined with cheesecloth for about 30-40 minutes, or until fully cooked and tender.
- Meanwhile, in a saucepan over medium heat, combine coconut milk, sugar, and salt. Stir until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is warm but not boiling.
- Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a mixing bowl and pour about two-thirds of the coconut milk mixture over it. Stir gently to combine and let it sit for about 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- To serve, place a portion of the sticky rice on a plate and arrange the sliced mangoes beside it. Drizzle the remaining coconut milk mixture over the top.
- If you’d like, sprinkle sesame seeds or mung beans on top for an added touch of flavor and texture.
And there you have it! A beautiful, mouthwatering plate of Mango Sticky Rice that is sure to impress. This dessert is not only tasty but also a feast for the eyes. Enjoy every bite of this Thai delight!
