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 first variant. The second version can be found here.

INGREDIENTS FOR 2-3 PORTIONS
-
100 g Thai sticky rice
-
1 fresh, ripe mango
-
4 tbsp sugar
-
1/2 - 1 tsp salt

250 ml coconut milk

Soaking the rice is a must. The soaking method in cold water is much better. Preferably overnight!
Cooking instructions
Effort: Easy
Preparation: 10 min.
Total time: 20 min.
STEP 1
First, cover the Thai sticky rice with plenty of boiling hot water for 30 minutes or soak in cold water for at least 6 hours. Then sieve and wash away the starch with cold water. Now steam the rice in a bamboo steamer for approx. 15-20 minutes. To prevent the rice from sticking to the steamer, you can use normal baking paper as a base in the bamboo steamer.
STEP 2
In the meantime, heat the coconut milk, sugar and salt in a pan over a medium heat. Reduce gently for approx. 10 - 15 mins, adding a little sugar or salt if desired.
STEP 3
Place the steamed sticky rice (should no longer be al dente!) in a bowl and add about 90% of the coconut milk dressing; keep the rest of the 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. 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!
