Print Recipe

A quick and delightful dessert of sticky rice topped with sweet mango and creamy coconut sauce, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1½ cups sticky rice (glutinous or sweet rice)
  • 1¾ cups boiling water
  • 1¾ cups coconut milk, divided
  • ¼ cup plus 3 tablespoons sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon corn starch
  • 1–2 ripe honey mangoes, peeled and cut into thin slices
  • 1½ teaspoons sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Soak the sticky rice: Rinse the sticky rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then cover it with boiling water and let it soak for about 15 minutes.
  2. Steam the rice: Drain the soaked rice and transfer it to a steamer basket lined with cheesecloth. Steam over medium heat for about 10-12 minutes until tender and translucent.
  3. Make the coconut sauce: In a small saucepan, combine 1½ cups of coconut milk with the sugar, salt, and corn starch over medium heat, stirring until the mixture thickens slightly without boiling.
  4. Combine the rice and coconut sauce: Transfer the steamed rice back to the bowl and pour about ¾ of the coconut sauce over it, gently folding it together. Allow to sit for 5 minutes.
  5. Plate and garnish: Serve the sticky rice in mounds on plates, top with mango slices and drizzle with the remaining coconut sauce. Sprinkle sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

Mango Sticky Rice is best served warm or at room temperature. For extra elegance, garnish with fresh mint leaves.
