Number Of Ingredients 8

½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1½ cups Thai sticky rice
1 (13.5-ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
¼ cup sugar
1½ teaspoons kosher salt
2 large ripe mangoes, peeled, pitted, and thinly sliced
Toasted sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)
Mint leaves, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • In a dry skillet, toast the coconut over medium-low heat, stirring, until lightly browned and fragrant, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool (don't leave it in the skillet or it might burn).
  • Place the sticky rice in a microwave-safe bowl and cover with 1¾ cups warm water. Let soak for at least 10 minutes or up to 1 hour. Cover the bowl with an upside-down plate or plastic wrap and microwave on high for 3 minutes. Carefully stir the rice from top to bottom, then cover and cook the rice for another 3 minutes. Repeat the process, stirring and microwaving 3 minutes at a time, until all the water has been absorbed and the rice has turned translucent (this means it's cooked). Set aside to cool slightly.
  • In a medium saucepan, bring the coconut milk to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer, add the sugar and salt, and stir until they dissolve. Remove from the heat, pour the hot coconut milk over the warm sticky rice, and stir to combine. Let sit for 5 minutes so the rice can absorb the coconut milk.
  • Transfer to a serving bowl and top with the toasted coconut. Serve with sliced mango. If desired, garnish with sesame seeds and fresh mint.

I'm not a big fan of mango, but I loved this sticky rice! The coconut flavor was really dominant, and the mango added just a hint of sweetness. The rice was cooked perfectly and had a great chewy texture. I'll definitely be making this again, even wi

This sticky rice was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. The recipe itself was easy to follow and the rice turned out perfectly cooked. I might try it again with less sugar next time.
