Mango sticky rice, the king of desserts in Thailand<\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Mango with glutinous rice, or Mango sticky rice, is possibly the most famous dessert in the country's cuisine. It's found in night food markets and street stalls. Its simplicity shouldn't fool you; it's an exquisite dish with very little preparation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This delight that is prepared with glutinous rice, seasonal mango, coconut milk and brown sugar, is a very complete dessert. Its sweet flavor with a pinch of salty, is highly appreciated by tourists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crispy mung beans are also often added on top. It is served with a banana leaf as a garnish, as the traditional way of preparing rice is to wrap it in a leaf and cook it over direct heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a dessert that is prepared mainly in the high season of mango cultivation, in the months of April and May. The variety of mango used is usually that of the Nam dok Mai.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no evidence of the origin of this traditional dish from Thailand, since in addition, neither the mango nor the glutinous rice originate from Thailand. It is rather an incorporation of the regions of the area to the gastronomy of the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But equally, there are already stories of this dish around the Ayutthaya period (1351-1767) and continues until the reign of King Rama II, according to many traditional recipes. For this reason it is part of the tradition and culture of Thailand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
