Mango sticky rice

Mango Sticky Rice (also known as Khao Niaow Ma Muang in Thai) is a traditional dessert from Thailand. It is made from glutinous rice, fresh mango, and coconut milk, and is often sprinkled with toasted mung beans or sesame seeds.

Ingredients

The main ingredients of Mango Sticky Rice are:

• Glutinous rice: This is a type of rice that becomes sticky when cooked. It is also known as sticky rice, sweet rice, or waxy rice.
• Mango: A ripe mango is used in this dish. The mango is peeled and sliced and served alongside the sticky rice.
• Coconut milk: This is used to cook the sticky rice and to make a sauce that is poured over the dish before serving.

Preparation

The glutinous rice is soaked in water and then cooked by steaming. Some recipes call for the rice to be soaked in coconut milk before cooking to enhance the flavor. The coconut milk sauce is made by simmering coconut milk with sugar and salt until it thickens. The ripe mango is peeled and sliced. The cooked sticky rice is served with the mango slices and the dish is topped with the coconut milk sauce.

Variations

While Mango Sticky Rice is a traditional Thai dessert, variations of this dish can be found in other Southeast Asian countries like Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam. Some variations use black glutinous rice or other types of fruit.

Cultural Significance

Mango Sticky Rice is often served during the Thai New Year or Songkran festival. It is also a popular street food in Thailand.
