Mango sticky rice is one of my favourite desserts! It’s a traditional Southeast Asian and South Asian dessert with glutinous rice, fresh ripe mango and coconut milk.
If you’re like me and you’re not exactly a huge sweet tooth but also enjoy some dessert every now and then, you will love mango sticky rice. For this dessert, it’s best to use a really ripe mango and use full fat coconut milk (or coconut cream) as opposed to reduced fat coconut milk.
ingredients for making mango sticky rice:
- 1 ripe mango
- roasted white sesame seeds (optional)
sticky rice:
- 1 cup uncooked glutinous rice
- 70g coconut milk
- 20g sugar
- a pinch of salt
coconut sauce topping:
- 100g coconut milk
- 25g sugar
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- a pinch of salt
what is glutinous rice?
- Glutinous rice, also known as sticky rice or Thai sticky rice, is a type of rice that has a soft, chewy and sticky texture. You can find this in almost any Asian supermarkets. A lot of Asian recipes use glutinous rice, such as Chinese savoury sticky rice.
- When using glutinous rice, you must soak the rice overnight or for at least 2-3 hours. This is because glutinous rice has a hard exterior compared to regular rice. Soaking it softens the outer layer and ensures moisture absorbs into the grains, which ensures that you get a chewy, soft and tender texture when you steam or boil the rice.
how do you make a mango rose?
- Peel the skin off the mango.
- Slice the mango into thirds.
- Cut the mango into really thin even slices.
- Gently pinch and spread out the thin mango slices, then roll it into a shape of a rose!
steps:
- Soak glutinous rice overnight or for at least 3 hours.
- Drain water and add to the rice cooker along with coconut milk, sugar and salt. Then cook for 20-25 mins until the texture is sticky and chewy.
- In a saucepan, combine coconut milk, sugar, salt and cornstarch and cook for a few mins until the sauce thickens.
- Serve the sticky rice with sliced mango, a drizzle of coconut sauce and sesame seeds. Enjoy!
