Take the sticky rice and soak it in cold water for around 4 hours or preferably overnight. Then drain and rinse the grains thoroughly.<\/p>\n<p>2. Steam the rice in a pan or steamer for 30 minutes mixing the rice now and then.<\/p>\n<p>3. Take the coconut milk can and separate the cream in the top into one bowl and the milk at the bottom into a pan. Add sugar to the coconut milk in the pan and heat gently until all of the sugar has dissolved. Make sure it doesn&#8217;t boil.<\/p>\n<p>4. Pour the coconut mixture over the rice and put to the side for cooling.<\/p>\n<p>5. Remove the mango seeds and score cube cuts into the fruit.<\/p>\n<p>6. Arrange the mango and sticky rice on the plate &#8211; adding the coconut cream on top of the rice as final decoration. Serve with additional ice cream if you wish.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em><strong>Whilst this recipe stays true to the Thai method of preparation, nothing beats an authentic tropical mango in-country.
