A simple and authentic Thai dessert featuring chewy glutinous rice soaked in creamy coconut milk, paired with ripe mango slices for a refreshing and indulgent treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (200g) glutinous (sticky) rice
  • 1 cup (240ml) full-fat canned coconut milk
  • 1 cup (240ml) water
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 medium ripe mangoes, peeled and sliced
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds or mung beans (optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse and soak the sticky rice: Rinse 1 cup of glutinous rice under cold water 3-4 times until water runs almost clear. Cover with fresh water and soak for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  2. Prepare the steamer: Fill a pot with about 2 inches of water and bring to a gentle simmer. Line the steamer basket with damp cheesecloth or parchment paper.
  3. Steam the rice: Drain soaked rice and spread evenly in the steamer basket. Cover and steam over simmering water for 20-25 minutes until tender but sticky.
  4. Make the coconut sauce: In a saucepan, combine 1 cup coconut milk, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Warm over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat before boiling.
  5. Mix rice with coconut sauce: Transfer steamed rice to a bowl and gently stir in about 3/4 cup of the warm coconut sauce. Cover and let absorb for 15-20 minutes.
  6. Prepare mango: Peel and slice 2 ripe mangoes into thin, even pieces.
  7. Serve: Spoon creamy sticky rice onto plates, arrange mango slices alongside, drizzle with remaining coconut sauce, and garnish with toasted sesame seeds or mung beans if desired.

Notes

Soaking the rice for at least 2 hours is essential for tender, chewy texture. Use warm coconut sauce to mix with rice for better absorption. Control heat during steaming to avoid burning or drying out the rice. Adjust sugar to taste, considering the natural sweetness of mango. Leftovers can be stored separately and reheated gently with a splash of coconut milk.
