This classic Thai dessert pairs sweet, creamy coconut sticky rice with fresh mango. The rice is soaked for several hours before being simmered until tender, then combined with a warm coconut milk sauce. After resting, it is served warm alongside slices of ripe mango for a traditional and satisfying finish to a meal. The process is straightforward, yielding the authentic texture and flavour found in restaurants.

Ingredients

8 cups water, divided
1 cup sweet rice
1 (15 ounce) can coconut milk
0.5 cup white sugar
0.75 teaspoon salt
1 ripe mango, peeled and sliced

Method

Soak the sweet rice in 6 cups of water within a large bowl for 8 hours or overnight.
Drain and rinse the rice. Place it in a saucepan with 2 cups of water and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce the heat, and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Move the cooked rice to a bowl.
In a small saucepan, mix the coconut milk, sugar, and salt. Heat this mixture until it just begins to boil, then pour it over the cooked rice. Allow it to stand for 30 minutes. Serve the warm rice with the sliced mango.
