Ingredients
- 1. Glutinous rice (2 cups) 2. Coconut milk (1 can) 3. Ripe mangoes (4 medium
- sized) 4. Brown sugar (1/2 cup) 5. Water (1 cup) 6. Salt (1/4 tsp) 7. Vegan coconut cream (for garnish) 8. Toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
- Rinse the glutinous rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain and set aside.
- In a large pot, combine the rinsed rice with water and salt. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the water has been absorbed. Let the rice steam in the covered pot for another 10 minutes.
- While the rice is steaming, prepare the coconut milk sauce. In a separate saucepan, heat the coconut milk and brown sugar over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- Once the rice has finished steaming, pour the coconut milk mixture evenly over the cooked rice, ensuring all grains are covered. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes to allow the rice to absorb the sauce fully.
- Peel the ripe mangoes and cut them into bite sized slices or chunks.
- Serve the mango sticky rice by placing a portion of the rice in each bowl or plate, topping it with fresh mango slices. Drizzle with additional coconut cream and garnish with toasted sesame seeds for an extra touch of elegance.
Chef’s Insight
In Thailand, mangoes are typically at their peak during summer months. Choose ripe yet firm mangoes for optimal flavor and texture.
