Mango Sticky Rice is a simple yet delicious dessert that is popular in Thailand. Traditionally, sticky rice is made by soaking it in water overnight like what I do when making bibingki (rice cake). You then cook the rice and sweeten with sugar and coconut milk. It may be unusual for others to eat mango with rice but trust me, It’s really good!
