AuthorHungry PandaCategoryDessertsDifficultyBeginnerMango sticky rice or khao neow mamuang (ข้าวเหนียวมะม่วง) is possibly THE most famous Thai dessert and it's so delicious, we decided to give you a recipe you can recreate at home.
Cook the sticky/glutinous rice using the ’SHORT GRAIN’ setting in your rice cooker. Pour the 2 cups
of rice into your inner bowl and fill to the level 2 line with water.
While the rice is cooking, mix together the coconut milk, sugar and salt in a saucepan over medium
heat.
Bring to the boil; remove from heat and set aside.
When the rice is cooked, remove to a large bowl and stir the coconut milk mixture into the rice and
cover.
Allow to cool (or you can eat warm if you prefer).
Make the topping sauce by mixing together 125ml coconut milk, 1 tbsp sugar, 1⁄4 tsp salt (and the
cornflour if using) in a pan and bring to the boil.
Prepare the mango as shown in the photo below and plate the rice, mango and put the pouring sauce into a little bowl.
Ingredients
Make it as sweet as you want by adjusting the amount of sugar. Make it vegan by substituting the cow milk based components with plant milk, oat milk, soy milk or coconut milk equivalents. Blind taste test and you can’t tell the difference!. Top with roasted sesame seeds if you want to jazz things up a bit.
