Thai Mango Sticky Rice Dessert (#Khao Niaow Ma Muang). The ingredients for this traditional dessert normally consist of ripe mango, coconut milk, sugar, toasted sesame seeds, salt and white sweet rice (aka, sticky rice). As you can see from my posts these last few weeks; I need to start eating a bit healthier. For those of us feeling guilty and trying to get back on the right path, I recommend substituting traditional rice with sweet black rice. This nontraditional substitute has a higher content of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals that we all need in our diet. This sweet dish tastes just as good as the original without the guilt.
