Thai Mango with Sticky Rice
Thai Mango with Sticky Rice is a Thai dessert that is also popular in Southeast Asian countries like Vietnam and Cambodia. It is also spreading in popularity in Western countries. Rice with fruit seems like such an odd combination but in this case, it is a perfect match. Sticky and chewy glutinous rice coated in a sweet coconut mixture pairs perfectly with ripe fresh mango. Simple, but insanely delicious.
