A simplified, faster version of the classic mango sticky rice, made using a microwave for quick cooking of the glutinous rice. Perfect for a sweet, tropical treat.
Ingredients
- Glutinous rice (sweet rice)1 cup
- Coconut milk1/2 cup
- Sweetener (e.g., honey, agave, or sugar substitute)2 tbsp
- Salt1/4 tsp
- Ripe mango1 large
- Toasted sesame seeds (optional garnish)1 tsp
Steps
- 1
Rinse the glutinous rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well.
- 2
Place the rinsed rice in a microwave-safe bowl. Add 1/2 cup of water. Cover with a microwave-safe lid or plate and microwave on high for 8-10 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender. Let stand for 5 minutes.

While the rice is cooking, gently warm the coconut milk in a separate microwave-safe bowl (about 30 seconds). Stir in the sweetener and salt until dissolved. Do not boil.
- 4
Pour about half of the sweetened coconut milk over the cooked rice. Stir gently to combine. Cover and let it sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the rice to absorb the liquid.
- 5
Peel and slice the ripe mango.
- 6
Serve the sticky rice warm, topped with the sliced mango. Drizzle with the remaining sweetened coconut milk and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds, if desired.
