Thai Mango Sticky Rice Dessert

Thank goodness mangoes are still available this week. I just got this craving for Thai Mango and sticky rice dessert since last week, and decided to make it this weekend. I have had this when I was in Bangkok last year and it was unforgettable. These stalls are everywhere in the streets of Bangkok. Be sure to try them if you haven't tried. It is very yummy.

1 can of coconut milk or cream
Water to soak rice in and to cook
2 ripe mangoes or more if you like lots of mangoes.
1/4 teaspoon of salt
5 small cubes of palm sugar or brown sugar if you don't have them

Method:

1. Soak glutinous rice in one cup of water overnight
2. Do not drain liquid
3. Add soaked rice and liquid to pot, add in salt, 1 tablespoon of brown sugar or palm sugar

5. Once coconut has been absorb into rice, turn off heat but let sit.
