Mango Sticky Rice - Thai Style
Mango sticky rice is absolutely one of my favorite desserts. It tastes best with fresh Thai mangoes (in Germany these are sold as "flying mangoes") and at room temperature.
There are 2 ways to make this dessert. The first is the authentic version with Thai sticky rice, which has to be soaked and steamed beforehand. The second & quicker version is with rice pudding or sushi rice; here the rice is simply cooked in a pot. Here we make the second variant. The first version can be found here.

Cooking instructions
Effort: Easy
Preparation: 10 min.
Total time: 20 min.
INGREDIENTS FOR 2-3 PORTIONS
-
100 g rice pudding
-
1 fresh, ripe mango
-
4 tbsp sugar
-
1/2 - 1 tsp salt
-
250 ml coconut milk
-
Some mint and chopped peanuts as garnish (optional)
PREPARATION TIPS
-
Wash the rice pudding at least 4 times to remove the excess starch
-
The rice pudding should be sticky but not lumpy
STEP 1
Wash 100 g of rice pudding in cold water several times, then bring to the boil in a covered pan with 130 ml of cold water. As soon as the water bubbles slightly, immediately reduce the heat to 30% and cook until all the water has been absorbed by the rice. Then remove the pot of rice from the heat and leave to simmer for a further 10 minutes with the lid on.
STEP 2
In the meantime, heat the coconut milk, sugar and salt in a pan over a medium heat. Reduce to a light bubble for approx. 10 - 15 min, add a little sugar or salt if desired.
STEP 3
Place the cooked rice (should no longer be al dente!) in a bowl and add about 90 % of the coconut milk dressing; keep the remaining coconut milk in a small cup for later. Now carefully mix the rice with the coconut milk dressing (silicone spatulas are ideal for this) and leave to stand for about 15 minutes.
STEP 4
To serve, place some sticky rice in a dessert bowl, top with fresh mango strips and optionally garnish with crushed peanuts and a mint leaf. Drizzle with a little coconut milk dressing just before enjoying. Bon appetit!
