Sticky Rice with Mango, or more commonly
called khao niao ma muang by the
locals, is a very simple, affordable and delicious Thai dessert that
will please all of your guests.
The only hurdle that you could possibly face
before preparing this dessert is the absence of the following ingredients at
your closest supermarket : sticky rice (not to be mistaken with normal
rice), coconut milk, mung beans (optional) and mangoes .
Alright, that's it! Hope you're ready to cook
now. Let's get started !
Ingredients
- 3 ripe mangoes
- sticky rice (1 kg)
- coconut milk (2 cans)
- salt (3/4 tbsp)
- sugar (550 g)
- roasted yellow mung beans (1 tbsp)
Preparation
- Wash the rice and soak it in
water. Let it stand for one night.Then, drain it.
- Most Westerns don't usually have
the appropriate equipment to cook sticky rice. Therefore, I recommend that you
simply put the rice in a bowl and that you pour as much water in the bowl as
there is rice.
- Heat it up in the microwave oven
for about 3 mn at maximum temperature.
- Bring it out and sprinkle some
water on the rice until it is wet enough.
- Flip the rice with a spoon and,
once more, heat it up for 3mn (do as before).
- Take the rice out of the oven and
sprinkle some water on the rice once again.
- Stir the rice with a spoon. Then,
heat it up for one and last minute (the rice should be sticky)
- While waiting, mix coconut milk,
sugar, salt in a pan. Gently heat up all the ingredients.Stir the mixture over
low heat until it gets homogeneous.
- In a medium bowl, put the freshly
prepared sticky rice to which you'll add the coconut milk mixture. Stir and let
it stand for about 15 mn.
- Peel mangoes and chop them.
- Finally, place the pieces of mangoes and the sticky rice on a plate. Add
the beans and the coconut milk mixture. Enjoy !
Tips
- You should boil coconut and cook
the sticky rice at the same because it's easier to mix them when they're both
hot.
- Don't wait too long before serving
this dessert.It is usually made to be eaten 'relatively' hot.
