So, you can't or won't eat chocolate, and have been shunned by the rest of society (deservedly so)? What other food blog thinks about posting something for you poor bastards? This one. Here's a video recipe for Mango Sticky Rice that would make a delicious, and still very sexy Valentine's dessert.Okay, I'll come clean - this video recipe wasn't really done for all you "I don't like chocolate" freaks of nature. It was filmed a while back for the Thai Foods site on About.com. This is one of those desserts that while you're eating it, you're thinking, "Why don't I make this more often?"
I'm not a huge mango fan, and don't generally crave tropical fruit, but there is no more perfect pairing for this uniquely-flavored fruit than a bowl of bright white sticky coconut rice.
You may have to search around a bit for the "sweet rice" called for, but most large grocery stores these days have fairly well-stocked Asian foods areas.Standard Ethnic Recipe Disclaimer: I'm not Thai. I'm not even part Thai. So, I have no idea how authentic this version is, although I do know I'm not that concerned. I've seen this done using a bamboo steaming basket, which looked pretty cool, but I don't have one of those. Anyway, it tastes good to me and hopefully it will to you too.

In Thailand the rice is actually steamed in this conical weave basket over water. The steamed rice would still have some bite instead of being mushy. As for the coconut sauce, as you mentioned, it is usually poured over the rice. This is a delicious dessert and I hope your video will encourage people to try it!
BTW the Thai name for this dessert is Khao (rice) Niao (sticky? not sure what this means) Mamuang (mango).
When I saw this entry in the blog I was waiting for the video to cume up on YouTube where I always watch them. Thankfully I came back to see it here!
What tasty looking rice! I say this with envy in my heart because just today I ruined my meal rice by forgetting to add salt to the water.
Fixed this for Valentines Day breakfast and it was really yummy! Thanks for the chocolate-free recipe.
This is new version of sweet sticky rice with mango for me :-)
In our Thai original version.
1.We use sticky rice soak over night and steam.
2.Mixed coconut milk,sugar,salt and heat it up until in start boil and turn off the heat.Add hot steam sticky rice and stir.clover 15 minute.( Rice shouldn't have liquid )
3.We mixed other coconut milk(thicker) put on top when we serve with mango and split mung bean roasted.
yes, this is not authentic, but easy and delicious.
How different would it be if I used regular Jasmine rice instead of sticky "sweet" rice? Should I not soak it for 30 minutes before hand in that case?
Thanks
wont be the same - totally different rice
