Cost: $2 per serving

Ingredients

• 1 Cup Sweet Sticky Rice (also called glutinous rice)
• 1 ½ Cups Water
• 1 Can (14 oz) Coconut Milk
• 3 Tablespoons  Maple Syrup (or any natural sweetener)
• ¼ Teaspoon Salt
• 2 Ripe Mangoes, Sliced
• Toasted Sesame Seeds

Instructions

• 1. Cook the Sticky Rice:

  Rinse the Sweet Sticky Rice in cold water a couple of times until the water runs clear.

  Then, soak it in water for about 30 minutes.

  Drain the rice and cook it in a pot with 1 ½ cups of fresh water over medium heat.

  Once it starts to boil, lower the heat, cover, and let it simmer for around 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed.
• 2. Prepare the Coconut Sauce:

  While the rice is cooking, grab a small saucepan and pour in the Coconut Milk.

  Add the Maple Syrup and a pinch of Salt. Heat it on low, stirring gently until the sauce thickens slightly.

  Don’t let it boil—just warm it up enough to blend the flavors. 😋
• 3. Mix the Rice with the Sauce: When the rice is done, gently fluff it with a fork.

  Pour half of the warm coconut sauce over the cooked rice and mix it in.

  Let it sit for about 10 minutes so the rice can absorb all that creamy goodness.

  Save the rest of the sauce for serving!
• 4. Serve It Up:

  Time to plate! Scoop the sticky rice onto a plate and arrange the Sliced Mangoes next to it.

  Drizzle some of that extra coconut sauce over the top for extra creaminess.

  If you like a bit of crunch, sprinkle some Toasted Sesame Seeds as a garnish. 🌱🥭
• 5. Enjoy Your Sweet Treat:

  That’s it! You’ve just made an easy and healthy Thai dessert.

  Grab a spoon and dig in—every bite is creamy, fruity, and oh-so-satisfying!

Notes

Tips for Success:

• Choosing the Right Rice: Make sure to use sweet sticky rice (glutinous rice). Regular rice won’t give you that signature sticky texture!
• Adjust the Sweetness: You can tweak the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup based on your taste.
• Use Ripe Mangoes: The juicier and sweeter the mango, the better the dish!
