Also known as sweet rice or glutinous rice, Thai sticky rice with mango makes for a delicious dessert. Use black sticky rice (or a mixture of black and white) if you like a bit of visual drama. For best results, cook the rice in a steamer or double-boiler. Yellow Asian mangoes work best but any mango variety will work just as well depending on what’s in season.
