Why this recipe works

Mango Sticky Rice with coconut milk and mature mango

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.

Kitchen know-how

Tips for Mango Sticky Rice

Use Klebreis

Normal rice does not get really sticky. For Mango Sticky Rice you need Glutinous Rice or Thai glue.

Steaming instead of cooking

steamed Klebreis takes coconut milk better and does not become watery.

Do not forget salt

A small amount of salt makes the coconut milk rounder and prevents the dessert tastes flat sweet.

Variations

How to adapt this recipe

Black Klebreis tastes nutty and often takes a little longer when steaming.

Roasted sesame or crispy mung beans give the dessert a pleasant contrast.
