Mango Sticky Rice

4️⃣ Assemble the Mango Sticky Rice

1. To serve, place a generous portion of the coconut-infused sticky rice onto each plate.
2. Arrange the freshly sliced mangoes on the side or on top of the sticky rice. The sweetness and freshness of the mango perfectly balance the richness of the coconut rice.
3. Drizzle the prepared coconut sauce over the sticky rice and mangoes, ensuring each bite has a touch of the creamy sauce.

5️⃣ Garnish and Serve

1. For a final touch, sprinkle with sesame seeds or toasted coconut flakes, if desired. These add a nice crunch and additional flavor to the dessert.
2. Serve immediately while the rice is warm and the coconut sauce is still slightly warm for the best experience.

Storage

If you have leftovers, store the sticky rice and coconut sauce in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. The rice will keep well, though it may firm up slightly. To reheat, gently steam the rice or microwave it with a little extra coconut milk to restore its texture. The coconut sauce can be reheated on the stovetop or in the microwave as well.

Tips

• If you can’t find glutinous rice, you can use short-grain rice as a substitute, though the texture may differ slightly.
• For a more authentic touch, try using fresh coconut milk (if available) for both the rice and the sauce. The flavor will be richer and more aromatic.
• If you prefer a sweeter dessert, you can adjust the sugar in the coconut sauce or add a little extra honey to the rice.
• Consider adding a squeeze of lime juice on top for a refreshing contrast to the sweetness of the coconut and mango.
