A simple and authentic Thai dessert featuring chewy glutinous rice soaked in creamy coconut milk, paired with ripe mango slices and a luscious coconut cream drizzle.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (200 g) glutinous (sticky) rice, soaked overnight
  • 1 ½ cups (360 ml) full-fat coconut milk
  • ⅓ cup (65 g) granulated sugar, adjust to taste
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 large ripe mangoes (about 500 g), peeled and sliced
  • 1 pandan leaf stalk (optional)
  • Water for steaming the rice
  • Toasted sesame seeds or mung beans (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Rinse 1 cup (200 g) of glutinous rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak it in fresh water overnight or at least 6 hours.
  2. Fill the bottom of your steamer with water and bring it to a gentle boil. Line the steamer basket with a clean cheesecloth or a thin kitchen towel.
  3. Drain the soaked rice and spread it evenly on the lined steamer basket. Cover and steam for 20-25 minutes, fluffing halfway through.
  4. Combine 1 ½ cups (360 ml) coconut milk, ⅓ cup (65 g) sugar, ½ teaspoon salt, and a pandan leaf in a saucepan. Warm over low heat for 5-7 minutes until sugar dissolves, do not boil.
  5. Transfer the steamed rice to a large bowl. Remove pandan leaf from coconut sauce, pour about ¾ of the hot coconut mixture over the rice, stir gently, cover and let sit for 15-20 minutes.
  6. Peel and slice 2 ripe mangoes into thin pieces and set aside.
  7. Warm the remaining coconut sauce on low heat until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
  8. Spoon sticky rice onto plates, arrange mango slices alongside, drizzle with thickened coconut cream, and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds or mung beans if desired.

Notes

Soaking the sticky rice overnight is crucial for the perfect chewy texture. Use fresh ripe mangoes for best flavor. Keep the heat low when warming coconut milk to avoid curdling. Let the rice absorb the coconut sauce fully for rich flavor. If pandan leaf is unavailable, vanilla extract can be used as a substitute.
