🥭 Thai Mango Sticky Rice Recipe (Khao Niew Mamuang)

Sweet Coconut Sticky Rice with Ripe Mango – A Tropical Thai Dessert You’ll Love!

Mango Sticky Rice is Thailand’s most famous dessert — and for good reason. It’s made with glutinous (sticky) rice soaked in rich coconut milk and served with sweet, juicy mango slices. This creamy, dreamy dish is easy to make at home and perfect for warm-weather treats or Asian-inspired dinner parties.

⭐ Why You’ll Love This Mango Sticky Rice Recipe

  • 🥭 Sweet, creamy, and naturally gluten-free
  • 🥥 Coconut-infused sticky rice that melts in your mouth
  • 🕒 Simple ingredients and ready in under an hour
  • 🍚 Perfect balance of sweet and salty
  • 🇹🇭 Authentic taste of Thailand at home

📝 Ingredients (Serves 4)

For the Sticky Rice:

  • 1 cup glutinous rice (a.k.a. sticky rice or sweet rice)
  • 1 1/4 cups coconut milk
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt

For the Coconut Sauce (optional but recommended):

  • 1/2 cup coconut milk
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cornstarch + 1 tbsp water (for thickening)

For Serving:

  • 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and sliced
  • Toasted sesame seeds or mung beans (for garnish)

🍽️ Instructions

Step 1: Soak and Steam the Rice

  • Rinse the glutinous rice until water runs clear. Soak for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Drain and steam in a rice steamer or cheesecloth-lined basket for 25–30 minutes, until tender and sticky.

Step 2: Make the Coconut Sauce

  • In a saucepan, combine coconut milk, sugar, and salt. Heat gently until sugar dissolves — don’t boil.
  • Reserve 1/2 cup for the topping; use the rest to soak the rice.

Step 3: Soak the Rice

  • While the rice is still warm, place it in a bowl.
  • Pour the warm coconut milk mixture over the rice. Cover and let it absorb for 20–30 minutes.

Step 4: Make the Topping Sauce (Optional)

  • Heat the reserved coconut milk with a bit of sugar and salt.
  • Add the cornstarch slurry and simmer until slightly thickened.

Step 5: Assemble and Serve

  • Scoop the sticky rice onto plates or banana leaves.
  • Top with sliced ripe mango.
  • Drizzle with coconut sauce and sprinkle with sesame seeds or crispy mung beans.

👩‍🍳 Tips & Variations

  • Use glutinous rice only — regular rice won’t give the sticky texture.
  • Mangoes should be ripe but firm for perfect slices.
  • Add a dash of pandan essence for authentic Thai aroma.
  • Use jasmine-scented coconut milk for added depth.

🥭 What to Serve with Mango Sticky Rice

  • Enjoy it as a dessert after a Thai meal like Pad Thai or Green Curry
  • Serve with iced jasmine tea, Thai iced tea, or fresh coconut water
  • Great for summer parties, Loy Krathong, or Thai New Year (Songkran)

📦 Storage & Make-Ahead

  • Store leftover sticky rice in the fridge for up to 2 days
  • Reheat gently in the microwave with a splash of coconut milk
  • Mango is best sliced fresh right before serving
