Mango Sticky Rice - Thai Dessert

Jan 022010

Mango Sticky Rice is a Thai Dessert that tastes simply sublime. What could be more delicious than ripe luscious sweet mango and Thai Sticky Rice soaked in Coconut milk. Every visitor to Thailand must try this dessert at least once during their stay but it is also easy to make at home if you have access to glutinous rice. Unfortunately there is no substitute for glutinous rice, long grain rice just will not do.

You’re right that this dessert is simply sublime and everyone should try it at least once in their lives. We go have access to the glutinous rice here, unfortunately for those in the U.S. you may find that getting ripe mangoes is a struggle. Most of the mangoes sold here are Mexican and they are picked before they are ripe to aid in shipping. They are not nearly as sweet and succulent as the mangoes you will get in the Big Mango!
