Mango Sticky Rice Dessert - Love on the Plate

I am sure some of you may know and have tasted this sweet dessert. My first encounter to this yummy dessert was back when I lived in Australia. This dessert is from Thailand and has spread out around the world. I was craving for this dessert when I saw a very intimidating picture of my dear foodie friend who recently travelled to Bangkok and had this dessert there (lucky you Rita!).

So here is my version of mango sticky rice dessert.

Ingredients:

200g sweet glutinous rice, soaked overnight

2 pandan leaves

1 can of coconut milk (app. 400ml)

1/2 block of palm sugar (app. 80g), shredded

salt

1 Thai mango

Directions:

Rinse and drain the glutinous rice, then add 1/2 can of the coconut milk and some salt. Stir it well. Add one of pandan leaf. Then place the mixture in a heat resistant container for steaming. Steam it until cooked (the rice becomes clear and sticky) app. 40min.
Meanwhile boil the other half can of coconut milk and then add the shredded palm sugar, pandan leaf and some salt. Mix it well.

To serve, place some scoop of the steamed sticky rice, top it up with some cut mango and pour the sweet sauce on top.

I would like to share this recipe for the event of Masak Bareng Yuuk - Love on the Plate.
