Mango Sticky Rice Bites

Miniature portions of creamy coconut sticky rice topped with ripe, juicy mango slices and a drizzle of sweet coconut sauce. A delightful bite-sized treat that captures the essence of traditional Thai dessert.

Steps

1. Rinse the sticky rice under cold water until the water runs clear. 2. Soak the rice in water for at least 4 hours or overnight. 3. Drain and steam the rice for about 20 minutes until tender. 4. In a small saucepan, heat coconut milk with sugar and salt until sugar dissolves completely; do not boil. 5. Mix half of the warm coconut milk mixture into the steamed sticky rice and let it absorb for 15 minutes. 6. Shape the sticky rice into small bite-sized portions using wet hands. 7. Top each portion with a thin slice of ripe mango. 8. Drizzle the remaining coconut sauce over the mango-topped bites. 9. Garnish with toasted shredded coconut if desired. 10. Serve at room temperature or slightly chilled.
