Use Klebreis
Normal rice does not get really sticky. For Mango Sticky Rice you need Glutinous Rice or Thai glue.
For Mango Sticky Rice, klebreis is soaked, steamed and still warm mixed with coconut milk, sugar and salt. After a short rest period, the rice absorbs the coconut milk and is served with mango and coconut sauce.
Why this recipe works
Mango Sticky Rice only works with Klebreis, not with normal long grain rice. The rice is steamed instead of cooked and then soaked with warm coconut milk. A pinch of salt is important because it balances the sweetness of the mango and coconut milk.
Recipe
Mango Sticky Rice is a Thai dessert made of steamed klebreis, sweetened coconut milk, mature mango and slightly salty coconut sauce. The rice must first soak.
Wash Klebreis thoroughly and soak in water for at least 4 hours, better overnight.
Drain rice and steam for 25 to 30 minutes until the grains are soft and sticky.
Heat 300 ml of coconut milk with sugar and salt until everything is dissolved. Do not cook strongly.
Mix hot Klebreis with the sweetened coconut milk and allow to rest covered for 15 minutes.
Shortly bind residual coconut milk with starch. Arrange rice with mango, add sauce and sprinkle with sesame or mung beans.
