Sticky Rice
Sticky rice is also known as glutinous rice because the rice is sticky and gluey in texture. It’s widely cultivated in Southeast Asia and one of the mainstays of Thai cuisine. Sticky rice is commonly served with a sweet or savory topping of lentils or beans. However, the best sticky rice recipe comes with ripe and juicy fresh mangoes.

What is mango sticky rice? It’s a popular dessert in the Indochina region (or in French “Indochine“) of Southeast Asia: Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam. Mango sticky rice is made with coconut milk, sugar, salt and mango cubes. The combination of mango and sticky rice are so delicious. If you love mangoes, you should also try out Mango Pomelo Sago, another amazing mango dessert.

How To Make Sticky Rice
Cooking Tips
Sticky rice is the star of the dish. Make sure that the cooked sticky rice is soft, sticky but retains a good bite. It shouldn’t be mushy. The coconut milk and sugar should be in the perfect ratio so it’s not too sweet and overwhelm the natural sweetness of fresh mangoes. Choose Asian mangoes from Thailand or Indian. They are sweeter in taste with vibrant orange flesh.
