Khao niao mamuang – Thailand's beloved dessert

Mango sticky rice is Thailand's quintessential summer dessert: steamed glutinous rice soaked in salted coconut sauce, with ripe, sun-sweet mango. A harmony of sweet, salty and creamy.

Glutinous rice is not ordinary rice – it is soaked and steamed rather than boiled, which makes it wonderfully sticky. Fully plant-based.
