One of the recipes I discovered during my Asia travels is Thai sticky rice with mango.
A deliciously creamy, tropical treat made with rice, coconut milk and fresh mangoes.

This exotic sweet dish is the most famous of all Thai desserts.
If you’ve been to Thailand, you’ve probably seen it everywhere from the night markets to restaurants and street vendors.
Thai people love their sticky rice and it’s also popular in countries such as Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia.

Mangoes are one of my favourite fruits. Two years ago we spent half a year in South East Asia and were so lucky to get to Thailand during mango season. We actually thought mango season had finished because it was June, but we were pleasantly surprised.
We would often come home with 6 different kind of mangoes and would literally stuff ourselves with them! So, so good..

It is very easy to make Thai sticky rice with mango at home, but if you want it to be authentic, you need the key ingredients. These should be fresh (and if possible seasonal) mango and the right type of rice.
You’ll need special sticky rice for this, which is Thai sweet rice or glutinous rice.
Almost every Asian store will have it, but if you don’t have any nearby, you can also order it online.
