Sweet Sticky Rice With Mango (Kha Neow Mamuang) is a classic Thai dessert that has been enjoyed for generations. This dish can be found in any local street market, high-end restaurants, or family gatherings across Thailand. Sticky rice, also known as glutinous rice, is a staple in the Thai diet and serves as a base for many sweet and savory dishes. When combined with sweet coconut cream, it creates a unique flavor and texture. The addition of ripe mangoes to this dish adds a burst of freshness and sweetness, making it the perfect after-dinner treat for any occasion.

Instructions

1.	Preheat a steam basket over medium-high heat. Drain the water from the rice and transfer the rice to the steam basket.
2.	Steam the rice for 30 to 40 minutes, or until it is cooked through and sticky. While the rice is steaming, prepare the mangoes.
3.	Peel the mangoes and cut them into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
4.	In a small saucepan, heat the coconut cream over medium heat and add the sugar and salt. Stir until the sugar has dissolved.
5.	When the rice is done, transfer it to a bowl and pour the sweet coconut cream mixture over the top, mixing well.
6.	Serve the rice on a plate or in a bowl and top with the sliced mango pieces. Sprinkle with roasted sesame seeds before serving.
