The beloved Thai dessert — warm, sweet coconut sticky rice piled with ripe mango — made at home with a functional twist. Nano Turmeric, our nano-formulated curcumin made for enhanced absorption, tastes like sweet mango with no earthy notes at all, so it melts right into the coconut sauce for extra mango flavor and a golden glow. It's simpler than it looks, and endlessly comforting.
Why this recipe works
Glutinous (sweet) rice steams up soft and sticky, then soaks in a warm, sweet-salty coconut milk that makes every grain rich and glossy. Nano Turmeric stirred into that coconut sauce off the heat deepens the mango flavor and adds enhanced-absorption curcumin. Fresh, ripe mango on top brings it all together.
Ingredients (makes 4)
- 1 cup glutinous (sweet) rice
- 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk, divided
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 sachet Nano Turmeric
- 2 ripe mangoes, sliced
- Toasted sesame seeds, to garnish
Instructions
- Soak and steam. Soak the glutinous rice at least 1 hour (or overnight), drain, then steam 20–25 minutes until tender.
- Make the sweet coconut milk. Warm 1 cup of the coconut milk with the sugar and salt until dissolved (don't boil). Take off the heat and stir in the Nano Turmeric.
- Soak the rice. Pour most of the sweet coconut milk over the hot rice, stir, and let rest 20 minutes to absorb.
- Make the drizzle. Warm the remaining coconut milk with a pinch of salt for a finishing sauce.
- Serve. Plate the rice with sliced mango, drizzle with coconut sauce, and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
Tips & variations
- Use the right rice: Glutinous/sweet rice is essential — regular rice won't work.
- Soaking matters: It gives the rice its signature sticky, tender texture.
- Off the heat: Stirring Nano Turmeric in off the heat keeps the mango flavor and golden color bright.
- Ripe mango: The sweeter the mango, the better the dish.
