This classic Thai dessert, known as Khao Niew Mamuang, balances the creamy richness of coconut-infused sticky rice with the bright, floral sweetness of ripe mangoes.

Served at room temperature or slightly chilled, the dish offers a delightful contrast in textures: the soft, yielding rice against the firm, juicy fruit. It is an elegant yet simple dish perfect for summer gatherings, special occasions, or a luxurious weekend treat. The combination of aromatic coconut and tropical mango creates a harmonious flavor profile that is both indulgent and refreshing, making it a standout favorite in Thai cuisine.

Description

This classic Thai dessert, known as Khao Niew Mamuang, balances the creamy richness of coconut-infused sticky rice with the bright, floral sweetness of ripe mangoes. The glutinous rice is steamed until tender and chewy, then tossed in a warm, sweetened coconut milk syrup that clings to every grain. Served at room temperature or slightly chilled, the dish offers a delightful contrast in textures: the soft, yielding rice against the firm, juicy fruit. It is an elegant yet simple dish perfect for summer gatherings, special occasions, or a luxurious weekend treat. The combination of aromatic coconut and tropical mango creates a harmonious flavor profile that is both indulgent and refreshing, making it a standout favorite in Thai cuisine.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Rinse the glutinous rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then drain.
  2. Cover the rice with plenty of cold water and soak for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight.
  3. Drain the soaked rice thoroughly.
  4. Line a steamer basket with cheesecloth and spread the rice evenly over the cloth.
  5. Steam the rice over boiling water for 45 minutes, sprinkling with 1/4 cup of water twice during the process to ensure even cooking.
  6. While the rice steams, pour the coconut milk into a saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat.
  7. Simmer the coconut milk until it reduces by one-third in volume, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
  8. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the sugar and salt until fully dissolved.
  9. Transfer the hot steamed rice to a large bowl and let it rest for 10 minutes.
  10. Pour the warm sweetened coconut milk over the rice and gently toss until all grains are coated.
  11. Let the rice stand for another 10 minutes to absorb the coconut flavor.
  12. Arrange the mango slices on a serving platter and mound the coconut rice alongside the fruit.
  13. Serve immediately at room temperature.
