Sticky Rice With Mango-Khao Neaw Mamuang


Sticky Rice With Mango or Khao Neaw Mamuang in Thai is arguably the most famous dessert in Thailand. This dessert is rich with coconut infused glutinous rice and the natural sweetness of Thai mangoes. A great dessert to finish with any Thai meal. So, if you are going to try making this dessert, then, I’d recommend you use the “Nam Dawk Mai” mango variety which are in season now. If you are in Vancouver, you can get these mangoes from most local produce grocers in Chinatown. Please find a picture of this mango variety at the bottom of this post.

Ingredients

3 Ripe Mangoes (sliced or diced)
250 g Glutinous Rice, soaked overnight and drained

Blend rice flour in ¾ cup of the coconut milk. Cook over a low heat. Stirring constantly (do not let it boil) till thickens. Remove from the heat and reserve.

Mix remaining coconut milk with sugar and salt. Bring it to a boil, stirring constantly. Add in the coconut milk mixture into the cooked glutinous rice. Cover the rice mixture for 20 to 25 minutes before serving.

Arrange the mangoes to one side of the plate, place the glutinous rice to another side and serve with the reserved coconut milk and some toasted mung beans, if desired.

  1. I love this Thai dessert. Your presentation is very beautiful. I have to try and make it sometime. But buying mangoes here is very tricky. Very often they rot before they are ripe and sometimes they are tasteless!

  3. Dear Angie,

    After adding the coconut milk mixture to the glutinous rice, cover the rice mixture and cover(???) for 20 to 25 minutes - do I continue with the steaming ? (assuming I have already gone thru the first round of steaming the rice for 30 minutes) or just leave it covered for the milk to be absorbed into the rice. Thank you for your kind advice which is most appreciated. Love all your yumy pictures !!

  4. Hi Joyce N, I have amended the recipe. Thanks. (a bit confusing, isn't it? :-)) Yes, after steaming the rice, mix in the coconut milk and just leave it covered. (no more steaming).

  7. I love the sophisticated presentation of your recipe. This is somewhat new to me as this is the first time I have read an Asian recipe wherein rice is being classified as a dessert and not as accompaniment for the main course. This is wonderful! Sweet mangoes are really good!

Dumplings

I'm actually laughing at myself! What have I got into? Trying to make dumplings?? Well, I have seen my late grandmother make them a long time ago. I can remember the ingredients but not the measurements! So, it took me about two hours to come up with the perfect recipes, and I'm glad I did! It was an instant hit! They were all gone, all gobbled up! Make the dough first, add about 480 to 500g of all-purpose flour with 300ml of water. Knead the dough and let it rest. You should be able to make 40 dumplings with the dough. Meanwhile, prepare the filling for the dumplings. Click here for the dumpling wrappers video.
