Mango Sticky Rice (Thai)

The original recipe called for a special kind of rice and preparation.  I just used jasmine rice and this was delicious!

  • 2 cups cooked jasmine rice
  • 1 can full-fat coconut milk 13.5 oz
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 2 tsps. cornstarch (optional and I didn’t use it)
  • 2 to 3 ripe mangoes, peeled and sliced

If you are reheating the rice, an easy tip is to put a wet paper towel on top of the rice and then re-warm it in the microwave

SAUCE: Combine the coconut milk, sugar and salt in a saucepan. Cook over medium low heat until the mixture is hot and the sugar is melted.  Do not bring to a boil. Let it cool to room temperature to serve.

OPTIONAL: You could combine the cornstarch and 4 Tbsp. of water in a small bowl and stir.  Add half the slurry to the sauce and stir immediately to thicken.  I didn’t think this was necessary.

SERVE:  Combine rice and sauce. Serve in 1/3 cup servings with mango on top or on the side.
