Sweet Coconut Sticky Rice with Mango

This sweet coconut sticky rice is not claiming to be authentic, but it is delicious! Especially when topped with fresh mango.

This is the first time I have ever made sticky rice. Am I claiming it to be authentic? Far from it! So don’t try to call me out for not doing it the proper way.

Trust me, I looked up all kinds of recipes claiming to be authentic, and while I don’t doubt those claims, I just didn’t have the patience at the time for all of it.

So, true to form, I decided to wing it. And you know what? I think it turned out damn delicious.

Would the more authentic version taste better? Maybe. And maybe one day I will try it, but for now my cheater method is how I am going to roll.

Another things not authentic about this dish? I served it with a sprinkle of Tajin seasoning. Yes I put Mexican seasoning on a Thai dessert, because I love Tajin on mango and it was just as good when paired with this sweet coconut sticky rice as well.

Have you ever had Tajin seasoning? I highly recommend stopping by your local Mexican grocery to pick some up. Just keep in mind that a little bit goes a long way!

I’ve also heard it’s delicious mixed with sugar or salt (depending on your preference) on the rim of a margarita. But I digress.

If you don’t want to find Tajin, this would also be great topped with toasted coconut or sesame seeds.

Apart from the fact that I probably should not eat this, it sounds wonderful, and I have absolutely no idea how you cheated. If I were to make it I would probably leave out the sugar. I bought a bottle of Tajin to use for margaritas, but have never used it, so it would be nice to try it with this. On another note, I was glad to notice that your cream cheese chicken enchiladas are trending. Just made those again last week, and they are soooo good!! Definitely worth the effort of making them.

Those enchiladas have been in the top 10 recipes since the day I posted it! They are worthy of the spotlight for sure.
