Thai Sticky Rice with Mango

My mother was my first cooking teacher. She taught me everything from making curry paste from scratch to peeling a mango. (Here’s how it’s done – we push the knife away from our bodies: How to Peel a Mango.)


In Thailand, there are many varieties of mangoes. Most people are familiar with sweet yellow mangoes, such as Nam Dok Mai and Ok Rong, and enjoy them with sweet sticky rice. Green mangoes are firm and sour, and best used in savory dishes. Check out the Michelin Guide on Thai mangoes.


Here’s a traditional recipe for Thai Sticky Rice and Mango, though I’ve reduced the sweetness a bit from the traditional recipe. Enjoy!
