Mango sticky rice - Quick Hack Recipe

Prep time: 5-10 minutes
Cooking time: <30 minutes
Serves: ~4 servings
Ingredients:

• 4 mango (alfonso if available) or substitute with 4 cups of frozen mango chunks

• 1 cup of sticky/sweet rice

• 1/4 cup of mung beans/moong dal (optional)

• 4 tbsp Coconut milk/cream powder with 1/4 cup of water (or sub with 1/4 cup of canned coconut cream).

• Additional coconut cream to top (optional)

• 1 tbsp of maple syrup / honey

• 1/2 tsp of salt

• Handful of coconut flakes to top (optional)

Cooking Tools:

• Insta-pot / rice cooker

Directions :

1. Wash and soak the sweet rice overnight. (optional)
2. If you have a rice cooker, cook the rice and mung beans in it. (1
cup of rice is about 1.25 rice cooker cups, plus the mung beans I just
filled the water in between 1 and 2 cups). Otherwise, add 1.25 cups of
water into the insta-pot with the rice and mung beans and cook for 0
minutes, natural release.
3. Mix 1/4 cup of hot water with the coconut milk powder, honey, and salt.
4. Mix the liquid into the rice, stir, top with coconut flakes and
serve with diced mangos.

Stay healthy with Annie:

The perfect dessert in the summer when mangos are abundant and the weather calls for something chilled and sweet. (but not too sweet)

I had been receiving mangos in my imperfect / misfit produce boxes during the pandemic, and decided to try making one of my favorite desserts with them, which is where this recipe came from. I
love the mix of salty and sweet in Thai desserts, and the refreshing taste of mango in the nice summer heat. There are a lot of mango sticky rice recipes online, the difference with mine is I've modified mine to take a lot less time and effort + healthier w/less sugar and cream. Hope you enjoy it too!
