I really love Thai food. I would love to learn more Thai recipes. This is one of our favorite desserts ever -- it's so amazing! I encourage you to try it. Tonight. HERE is where I found the recipe.

Thai Coconut Sticky Rice with Mango

• 1 C uncooked jasmine rice
• 2 C water
• 1 C coconut milk
• 2/3 C white sugar
• 1/3 tsp salt
• 1/3 C coconut milk
• 2/3 Tbsp white sugar
• 1/6 tsp salt
• 2/3 Tbsp tapioca starch
• 2 mangoes, peeled and sliced

Combine the rice and water in a saucepan; bring to a boil; cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer until water is absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes.

While the rice cooks, mix together 1 C coconut milk, 2/3 C sugar, and 1/3 tsp salt in a saucepan over medium heat; bring to a boil; remove from heat and set aside. Stir the cooked rice into the coconut milk mixture; cover. Allow to cool for 1 hour.

Make a sauce by mixing together 1/3 C coconut milk, 2/3 Tbsp sugar, 1/6 tsp salt, and the tapioca starch in a saucepan; bring to a boil.

Place the sticky rice on a serving dish. Arrange the mangoes on top of the rice. Pour the sauce over the mangoes and rice. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
