Easy Mango Sticky Rice Recipe

This Easy Mango Sticky Rice Recipe is my take on the classic Thai mango sticky rice dessert. Short-grain rice cooked in fragrant coconut milk with a good drizzle of creamy coconut sauce and served with ripe and juicy mango, this is a dessert that is comforting and perfect for Summer, but also all year round.

Ingredients

For the coconut rice

  • 1 cup sticky rice ( or sushi rice, rice pudding rice, 200 g)
  • 1 ½ cup water (375 ml)
  • 1 cup full-fat coconut milk ( tinned, 250 ml)
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar (50 g)

For the coconut sauce and garnishing

  • ½ cup coconut milk (125 ml)
  • 3 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cornflour ( corn starch)
  • ½ teaspoon sesame seeds
  • ½ teaspoon poppy seeds
  • 2 ripe mangoes

Instructions

  • Start by making the rice - rinse the rice with cold water until the water runs clear.
  • Add the rice and a cup and a half of water to a pan set over a low to medium heat.
  • Place a lid on the pan and cook it until all the water is evaporated and the rice is cooked.
  • Take the pan off the heat, but keep the lid on for a further 5 minutes.
  • In a separate pan, add the coconut milk and sugar and bring it to a boil over a medium heat.
  • Pour the hot sugary coconut milk over the cooked rice, and stir well.
  • Set aside for 30 minutes for the rice to soak up the liquid.
  • To make the coconut sauce, add the coconut milk and sugar to a pan set over a medium heat.
  • Bring it to a boil, then make a slurry from the cornflour and water, and add it to the pan.
  • Stir until the sauce thickens slightly.
  • Divide the rice between ramekins or small round bowls pressing down well. with a spoon, then place a small plate over the bowl and turn it over, so that the rice can have the shape of a dome.
  • Sprinkle some of the seeds over each rice dome, drizzle some of the coconut milk and serve with mango slices.
