Description

Mango sticky rice is a traditional Thai dessert that is both sweet and creamy. It's made with glutinous rice, which is cooked in coconut milk and sugar, and then topped with fresh mango slices. However, the traditional recipe can be quite high in calories and sugar. In this healthy mango sticky rice recipe, we've made a few tweaks to make it lighter and healthier without sacrificing the taste.

Prep Time

The prep time for this recipe is about 10 minutes. You'll need to soak the rice in water for 30 minutes before cooking it.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup glutinous rice

Recipe Tips

To make this recipe vegan, simply swap the honey for agave nectar or maple syrup. You can also use brown sugar instead of honey, but keep in mind that it will increase the calorie count. If you don't have a steamer basket, you can steam the mango in a microwave-safe bowl with a few tablespoons of water for 2-3 minutes. Finally, if you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
