Sticky rice is used in a lot of desserts. Sticky rice with coconut and tapioca is good.

If you havent tried a bit of fresh squeezed lime on top of your mango, give it a try. The citric acid does amazing things to your taste buds when mixed with the sweet mango. Sticky rice with mango was my favorite dessert while living in Thailand.

I just found a recipe I totally want to try from Cooking Cute, otherwise known as mmmbento on LJ....

Ingredients*
- Sticky rice -
2 cups sticky rice
2 cups coconut milk
1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 ripe mangoes, cut into thick slices
- Topping -
1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
1 tbsp tapioca starch
1 tbsp sugar
1/4 tsp salt
Steps

1. Cook the sticky rice as you normally would. I used my rice maker, which has a sweet rice function. I measured out 2 rice-maker cups (which are smaller than normal cups) of rice, rinsed it clean, then let it soak for about 6 hours. Then I drained it, placed it in the rice maker bowl and filled in the water up to the line for 2 cups (the water barely covered the rice). Then I closed the lid and hit cook. If you don't have a rice maker, you can steam the rice.
2. While the sticky rice is cooking, mix together 1.5 cups of the coconut milk, the sugar and salt and bring to a boil. Then set the sauce aside to cool.
3. Immediately after the sticky rice is cooked, and still hot, put it into the coconut sauce and stir well. It will look a little soupy. Cover for 1 hour and let cool. The rice will absorb the coconut sauce.
4. To make the topping, mix the remaining 1/2 cup of coconut milk with the salt, sugar and tapioca starch. Bring to a boil, then set aside to cool.
5. To serve, put the sticky rice on a dish and lay the sliced mangoes on top. Pour the topping sauce over the sticky rice and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
