🔍 FAQ: Mango Coconut Sushi

Q: Can I use sticky rice instead of sushi rice?
Yes! Thai sticky rice works well, but sushi rice gives a firmer, rollable texture.

Q: Is this recipe gluten-free?
Yes, all ingredients are naturally gluten-free. Just check your coconut milk and sugar sources to confirm.

Q: Can I prep this ahead of time?
You can prep 1 day ahead, but for best texture and presentation, slice just before serving.

💡 Pro Tip:

Chill the rice slightly before rolling—it helps firm the roll and makes slicing easier.
