Ingredients for Sweet Mango Sticky Rice Rolls
Alright, gather ’round! Here’s what you’ll need to make these babies:
- 1 cup glutinous rice – the *key* to sticky rice!
- 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk – full-fat is my fave, so creamy!

How to Make Sweet Mango Sticky Rice Rolls: Step-by-Step Instructions
Okay, ready to get rolling? (Pun intended!). Don’t be scared, it’s easier than you think! Just follow these steps, and you’ll be munching on these in no time!
Preparing the Sweet Sticky Rice
First things first, gotta get that rice ready! Rinse your glutinous rice until the water runs clear – that’s important! Then, soak it in water. Seriously, don’t skip this step! At least 4 hours, but overnight is even better. After soaking, drain it well and steam for 20-25 minutes. You want it soft and sticky, but not mushy, you know?
Making the Sweet Coconut Milk Mixture
While that rice is steaming away, let’s make the magic sauce! In a saucepan, combine your coconut milk, sugar, and salt. Heat it over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Now, listen up: DO NOT let it boil! We just want it nice and smooth.
Assembling Your Sweet Mango Sticky Rice Rolls
Alright, the fun part! Lay a rice paper wrapper on a flat surface. Dip it in warm water for just a few seconds – you want it soft and pliable, but not falling apart. Place a spoonful of that glorious sticky rice and a slice (or two!) of mango in the center. Fold the sides inward, then roll it up nice and tight, like a little burrito! Be gentle, rice paper can tear easily. Repeat until you run out of rice or mango. Enjoy immediately, or chill ’em for later!
Tips for Perfect Sweet Mango Sticky Rice Rolls
Wanna take these rolls from “good” to “OMG AMAZING?” Here are my secrets!
- Rice paper matters! Get the kind that’s smooth, not too textured. It’ll be easier to roll.
- Perfect rice = perfect rolls. Don’t overcook it! You want it sticky, but the grains should still be a little distinct.
- Soggy rolls are sad rolls. Don’t overfill them, and make sure the rice isn’t too wet when you roll ’em.
Sweet Mango Sticky Rice Rolls Variations
Okay, so you’ve mastered the basic recipe? Awesome! Now, let’s get a little crazy and try some fun variations! This is where you can really put your own spin on things. Don’t be afraid to experiment! Think different fruits, jazzed-up coconut milk, or even a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds for some extra crunch. The possibilities are endless!
Alternative Fillings for Your Rolls
Mango’s a classic, but why stop there? Pineapple chunks are super yummy, especially if you grill them first. Strawberries are also amazing – that sweet-tart flavor is just *perfect* with the sticky rice!
Flavor Infusions for the Rice
Wanna take that coconut milk to the next level? Try steeping some pandan leaves in it while it’s heating up – it adds this amazing floral flavor. Or, for a little something different, a splash of vanilla extract is surprisingly delicious!
FAQ About Sweet Mango Sticky Rice Rolls
Got questions? I got answers! Here are a few things folks often ask me about these delicious Sweet Mango Sticky Rice Rolls. Don’t be shy – if you’re scratching your head about something, I probably covered it!
Can I make Sweet Mango Sticky Rice Rolls ahead of time?
You *can*, but they’re definitely best fresh! If you need to, wrap them individually in plastic wrap to keep them from drying out. Just be aware that the rice paper might get a little chewier over time.
What kind of rice paper is best for Sweet Mango Sticky Rice Rolls?
I usually go for the smooth, thin kind – the ones that are labeled for spring rolls. Avoid the super thick, textured ones, as they can be harder to work with and don’t get as pliable.
How do I prevent the Sweet Mango Sticky Rice Rolls from sticking together?
Ah, the dreaded sticking! The best way is to wrap each roll individually. You can also lay them on a tray lined with parchment paper, making sure they aren’t touching. A light spritz of cooking spray on the parchment can also help!
