A Delightful Vegan Dessert: Thai Mango Sticky Rice
This creamy Thai dessert features sticky rice cooked in rich coconut milk, served with slices of fresh mango. The combination of textures and flavors creates a comforting and satisfying experience that’s both sweet and slightly salty.
Ingredients
- 1 cup glutinous (sticky) rice
- 1 1/2 cups coconut milk
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and sliced
- Sesame seeds or mung beans for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Rice: Rinse the sticky rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak it in water for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Cook the Rice: Drain the soaked rice and steam it in a bamboo steamer or a pot lined with cheesecloth for about 30 minutes, or until tender.
- Make Coconut Sauce: In a saucepan, combine coconut milk, sugar, and salt. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves, but do not let it boil.
- Combine: Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a bowl and pour half of the coconut sauce over it. Stir gently to combine and let it sit for about 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Serve: To serve, place a portion of the sticky rice on a plate, top with fresh mango slices, and drizzle with the remaining coconut sauce. Garnish with sesame seeds or mung beans if desired.
