  • Topping: 2 ripe mangoes, peeled and diced, 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds or mung beans

Instructions

1.
Rinse the sticky rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak in water for 30 minutes if time allows, then drain.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

Für noch mehr Aroma kannst du beim Erhitzen der Kokosmilch eine Pandanblatt hinzufügen. Wer es besonders dekorativ mag, kann die Rice Cups nach Belieben mit extra Früchten und frischer Minze verzieren. Achte darauf, den Reis nicht zu stark zu rühren, damit die Körner ihre Struktur behalten.

Varianten und Anpassungen

Statt Mango können auch andere tropische Früchte wie Ananas oder Litschis verwendet werden. Für einen zusätzlichen Crunch lassen sich geröstete Kokosraspel oder gehackte Nüsse als Topping ergänzen. Wer mag, serviert die Cups gut gekühlt als sommerliche Erfrischung.

Serviervorschläge

Richte die Sticky Rice Cups in kleinen Gläsern oder Schälchen an, garniere sie mit frischer Mango, einem Hauch der übrig gebliebenen Kokosmilch und streue geröstete Samen oder Bohnen darüber. Ein paar Minzblätter machen das Dessert zum Hingucker – perfekt für besondere Anlässe oder als süßes Finale eines Thai-Dinners.
