What is mango sticky rice?
Sweet sticky rice cooked in coconut cream, served with ripe fresh mango and a little extra coconut sauce poured over. It is naturally vegan and gluten-free, which is why it is such a dependable dessert for mixed tables.
How we serve it at Two Sisters
We steam the sticky rice, loosen it with coconut cream, and plate it against sweet, ripe mango. The contrast — warm rice, cool fruit, soft coconut — is the whole appeal. It is gently sweet, not cloying.
