    The only ingredients you need for Thai Sticky Rice with Mango:

    • 2 cups coconut milk
    • 4 pinches salt
    • 2 cups glutinous rice
    • 2 ½ cups of warm water
    • 4 tablespoons sugar

    To make this delicious, easy without all the fuss ...here are 3 tips!!

    There are two different ways of making Thai Sticky Rice with Mango - the traditional way with a steamer and muslin cloth and the easy way with....a microwave! 

    • So the first tip to making this easy...is using the microwave!!
    • The second tip to this recipe is to make sure that you use glutinous rice. This is called glutinous rice because is becomes sticky rice not because it has gluten in it. (so, yes it is gluten free!! :-))

    • The third tip to this recipe is to make sure that you soak the rice. This is really important otherwise the rice wont be fluffy and it will be undercooked. I soak mine for a good four hours or overnight and then it doesn't take as long to cook. (I have soaked it for two hours once, when I was in a rush and it turned out well)

    How to make the sticky rice

    • Start with soaking the glutinous rice for 3-4 hours or overnight with warm water. The rice should be in a bowl (a microwave bowl) and just covered with enough warm water to be just above the rice.
    • Then cover the bowl with a plate/ dish and cook in microwave for 3 minutes on full power.
    • Then stir the rice - and make sure to move the bottom rice to the top .  To know when the rice is ready the rice will become translucent. If the rice still has a white centre then it needs to be cooked again for another 3 minutes. Continue to check and stir every 3 minutes.

      I've never heard of glutinous rice. My family loves mango and rice so I want to try this if I can find the rice!

      This sounds delicious. I like how simple it is to make too. I would have never thought to put rice and mango together.

      Thank you for sharing this with us on the #HomeMattersParty. We hope to see you when we open our doors at 12AM EST on Fridays.

      This looks so good! I can't wait to try it! I was just wondering about the glutinous rice.... so I have celiac disease and have to be gluten free... What rice would be a good substitute for 'glutinous rice'?

      Thank you!!

        Hi Sarah!
        Glutinous rice is gluten-free. The misleading name simply comes from the fact that glutinous rice gets glue-like and sticky when cooked.
        Enjoy! 😃
