easy thai mango sticky sweet rice with cream coconut milk

Mangoes have overtaken every nook and cranny of the city, and I’m here for it. Cause that means that it’s currently mango season in the US! It’s hands down one of my favorite fruits, which I’ll never fail to indulge in any time I could.

There’s quite a number of desserts that can be made with this star ingredient. However, my ultimate go-to would definitely be mango sticky rice.

Easy Mango Sticky Rice

Mango sticky rice is a Thai delicacy known as khao niaow ma muang. It’s basically glutinous rice that’s drizzled in sweet coconut milk sauce, served with fresh cut mangoes.

This dish is not only a popular street food in Thailand–especially when they’re in season during the months of April and May–but also in other countries in Southeast Asia. I grew up eating this frequently in Malaysia since it’s easily available in night bazaars or food markets.

“Cheat” Mango Sticky Rice With Rice Cooker

And once I found out how simple and effortless it was to make at home, you can guess the amount of times I’ve made this dessert whenever I have mangoes on hand.

I did a “cheat” and quick version of cooking the rice in a rice cooker. If you want to make the traditional and authentic version, soak the sweet rice for at least 2 to 6 hours in water before steaming it.

Ingredients You Need

This dish requires only a handful of ingredients, as listed below.

  • Sweet rice: Aka glutinous rice or sticky rice.
  • Mangoes
  • Toasted sesame seeds: To garnish.
  • Full cream coconut milk: I used the brand Chaokoh.
  • Brown Sugar: You can substitute brown sugar with regular sugar or palm sugar if you have it.
  • Salt

Recipe Instructions

  1. Cook the rinsed 1 cup of rice with 1 1/2 cups of water in a rice cooker or in a pot over the stove. While the rice is cooking, cut the mangoes.
  2. Add coconut milk, brown sugar and salt in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sauce thickens (about 3 minutes). Turn off heat and set aside.
  3. Once the sticky rice is cooked, pour in 1/4 of the sauce and leave for 5 minutes for the rice to absorb the sauce (see notes).
  4. Serve the sticky rice on a plate with mangoes. Pour the remaining sauce all over the sticky rice or on the side. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and enjoy!

Notes for Thai Mango Sticky Rice

  • Sweet Coconut Milk Sauce: The amount of sugar used should be up to your preference and the sweetness of the mango. In general, this recipe is my preferred ratio of sugar to coconut milk. But if my mango is on the riper side and is very sweet, I like to use a little less sugar.
  • Amount of sauce: Start by pouring in 1/4 cup of the sauce for the rice to absorb. After 5 minutes, add more if you prefer a more moist texture for the rice.
  • Storage: Store the sticky rice and coconut milk sauce separately in the fridge. I recommend only keeping it up to 2 days. You can reheat the sticky rice and sauce in the microwave until it turns to room temperature.

The best pizza in the city where pizza was invente The best pizza in the city where pizza was invented @farahjeats 🍕 
📍Pizzeria Da Michele, Naples, Italy 
📍 Pizzeria D’angeli, Naples, Italy
We got pizza from one of the oldest pizzerias in Naples, Italy and it didn’t disappoint. We got there right when it opened and there was already a line. We ended up getting the pizzas to-go and ate it on the hood of our rental car. Each box of pizza was only €5 and we got every item on the menu (it was only a 4 item menu anyway 😂). While waiting in line, the smell of the wood fired pizza was sooo good we were so hungry by the time we got our orders. We got pizzas from across the street too just to compare. There was no line at that restaurant and you could easily get a table. It was a little bit more expensive per pizza but still affordable. Both pizzas were delicious! Still dreaming about it till this day 🥲
Fun fact: Eat, Pray, Love was filmed at Pizzeria Da Michele!

Popular in Malaysia and neighboring countries like Indonesia and Singapore— with each country having their own version of it. Chewy noodles infused with spicy, tangy and savory flavors, and ready within 30 minutes!
This is definitely not an authentic recipe but a simplified version that my mother-in-law makes often and now a recipe that I make quite a lot for a quick breakfast using ingredients easily accessible to us here. It definitely hits the spot! Feel free to add protein of your choice to this dish or just add a fried egg on top!

Try these Crispy Air Fried Crab Stick Crackers for size. A classic snack that could almost always be seen during Chinese New Year festivities in Malaysia. All you need are some crab sticks, a bit of seasoning, and a few tablespoons of oil!
This is such an easy and addictive snack. I always have to make a lot if I’m sharing because I tend to finish the first batch all by myself 😂

Save and share this flavorful and delicious recipe!
Ending my Ramadan series with one of the best dishes. This is a dish that’s traditionally served during Eid/Raya in Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore. Every family usually has their own version of this. It’s usually served with nasi impit (cubed rice), lemang or pulut kuning (turmeric glutinous rice) but also just as good with white rice. 
Making this is a truly a labor of love especially when you make big batches. It can take hours! Families will cook this the night before Eid so the dish will be ready in time for the big celebration. The whole house will usually smell like rendang when this is made and honestly, one of the best smells that reminds me of such great and fond memories. 
This month just flew by— thanks so much for tuning in. I’ll be back with my usual twice a week recipes starting next week 💛
