Mango season has finally arrived! So you bought an entire box of mangoes and you want to polish them off before they all go bad. Why not serve this traditional Thai mango sticky rice at your next dinner party or summer lunch? This treat is creamy, sweet, and VEGAN! It’s perfect to enjoy after a flavourful meal since it is not too rich and contains an element of freshness from the mango. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mangoes, the sweetest and tastiest summer fruit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Mangoes have always been my favourite fruit since I was a child. I was always eager to eat the ‘seed’ every time we cut one open for a snack. When perfectly ripe, they are juicy, sweet, and slightly tart. Definitely one of my favourite elements of summer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My first time trying mango sticky rice…<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I tried mango sticky rice for the first time at a local Thai restaurant called Unchai. This restaurant serves traditional Thai fare that is far removed from what you would find in your office building’s food court. This place is an absolute gem, I would highly recommend to check it out if you’re in town and looking for an authentic Thai meal!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On one summer evening, after a delicious meal at Unchai consisting of Pad Thai, Green Curry, Papaya Salad, and Plaa Goong, it was finally time for dessert. If you know me in real life, you would be familiar with the fact that I absolutely live for sweets. I will always order a dessert when dining out and keep plenty of sweets available at home when the cravings hit. It’s safe to say that desserts are high on my eating priority list. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We ordered a plate of mango sticky rice, and to be honest, I was not excited to try it. I think this is partially due to the fact that the name, if you take it literally, does not sound very appealing or exotic. Admittedly, my expectations were quite low and I didn’t know if I was going to like it. I thought I was going to receive a bowl of mangoes with sweetened rice mixed in. I was blown away with the delicate and beautiful presentation of the dessert and even more thrilled to discover that this dish pairs mango with coconut! Happy to say that I fell in love with the dessert instantly. A couple months later, we were flying off to Thailand and experienced the dessert again for the first time in it’s homeland. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Making mango sticky rice is simple and easy to do at home!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I am pleased to bring you a recreation of this traditional Thai dish. The components include fresh mangoes (of course), glutinous rice marinated in sweetened coconut milk, and lastly, a cool salted coconut milk sauce drizzled on top! I like to amp up the flavours and garnish with lime zest and toasted shredded toasted coconut for added texture. I add a sprig of mint if we are getting really fancy and going for restaurant-quality presentation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now it’s time for you to give this recipe a try! Don’t forget to leave a comment to let us know what you think! <\/p>\n\n\n
