In Thai cooking, sticky rice is the staple of northern and northeastern Thai cuisine (Isaan), and it’s also commonly used in all sorts of Thai desserts like this one. For Thai mango sticky rice, the sticky rice is steamed, then mixed with thick coconut cream and sugar and paired with perfectly ripe yellow sweet mango. To make it even more delicious, it’s served with a small bowl of extra coconut cream which you pour on top.
The main (and most important) ingredient in mango sticky rice is, not surprisingly, mango, and for this mango sticky rice recipe you’ll need perfectly ripe mangoes that are silky in texture. In Thailand there are a number of varieties of mango, but one of the most common is called mamuang nam dokmai (มะม่วงนำ้ดอกไม้) – literally translated to flower water mango. Presentation is very important, so the mango is peeled from the stem side, slicing long, very thin sections of the skin off working towards the pointy end. You then slice the top part of the flesh off from the seed and then section across the mango into large pieces.
To serve, you place the sticky rice onto a plate or bowl, then add the sliced mango and the small bowl of additional coconut milk on the side.
So now you know all about the dish, here is the recipe for you to recreate this deliciousness!
Make it as sweet as you want by adjusting the amount of sugar. Top with roasted sesame seeds if you want to jazz things up a bit.
