Thai Mango Sticky Rice
Thai Mango sticky rice (also known as Khao Niew Ma Muang in Thai), is probably one of the most loved desserts by us Aussies when we venture out to our Thai restaurants. Although sticky rice is used in many of their desserts, this has got to be one of the easiest to make and serve.
What do you need? Well, first, you need to have the sticky rice cooked and ready to go. I have all the instructions on making Thai Sticky Rice here. The rest is so easy.
The ingredients I chose for Thai Mango sticky rice
- Thai Sticky rice – This dish must use a Thai brand of sticky or glutenous rice. I explain why in this post.
- Sugar – Traditionally, they would use Palm Sugar in Thailand, although I use dark brown or brown sugar. It’s a similar flavour and easily sourced, not to mention the lower environmental impact.
- Salt – yes, you need it. Like salted caramel is better than plain old caramel, this dish is better with a good pinch of salt.
- Coconut cream or milk – I use cream because you can always add water to let it down a bit, but if you start with milk, you’ll need to reduce it to get the right texture and taste. I’ll let you choose that. I like the Mae Ploy coconut cream for this dish, as do many Thai restaurants.
- Mango – fresh is always best, but if you can’t find fresh, try something like Elephant brand Mango. Some tinned mangos aren’t that nice, but this one is one that many restaurants use.
- Vanilla – Now, I haven’t put this in my recipe ingredient list because it will freak some people out by telling me, “it’s not traditional”, but I have to say I’ve been known to stir it a touch. It’s defiantly not traditional, but it certainly does taste brilliant. Mind you, I add vanilla to my overnight oats too, so maybe it’s just me. YUMMMY.

Notes
