I received the Rice and Hot Cereal Cooker used in this recipe from Hamilton Beach but, as always, all opinions are my own.
Mango Coconut Sticky Rice – Short-grain rice is cooked with coconut milk and fresh mango to give this side dish a tropical feel!
Produce season is in full swing and I’m showing no signs of stopping when it comes to cooking with it. I’ve got tons of recipes coming up that feature some of my favorite fruits and veggies and I can’t wait to share them all with you!
The next one I have for you is an incredible side dish that you’ll love to serve with any entree during the week. It’s my Mango Coconut Sticky Rice and it’s one of the most flavorful and easiest side dishes you’ll ever make.
Mango sticky rice is known for being a sweet Thai dish – but not this version. I have created this rice to stay in the savory spectrum so if you’re looking for that sweet version, this isn’t it.
Before we get too into the recipe, let’s take a look at this fruity, carb-alicious dish:
This mango coconut sticky rice recipe is one of the easiest recipes you’ll ever make. It’s not much more work that making regular rice. All we’re doing is adding rice, coconut milk, water, and mango to a pot and cooking the rice just as you normally would.
To make the process EVEN easier, I used my Rice and Cereal Cooker from Hamilton Beach. It saves you the effort of having to wait for the water to boil – all you need to do is add all the ingredients, set the rice cooker to White Rice and it does the rest! No rice burning on the bottom or rice that is too mushy or too crunchy. Oh and this rice cooker has a “Warm” option so once the rice is ready, it switches to warm so the rice doesn’t sit there and get cold.
Another great feature that I love about this cooker is the options to make other things besides just rice. You can make oatmeal, cereals, quinoa, grits – you name it. And with the delay start option, you can set things in the cooker hours ahead of time and set them to be ready when you get home or wake up.
Because I love this cooker so much, I’m hosting a giveaway below so you can win your very own to use for this incredible rice! Make sure you use all your entry options to maximize your chances of winning!
If you decide to use the stovetop to make this recipe, don’t worry – I give you the instructions for that cooking method in the recipe below, along with instructions for cooking with the rice cooker.
Here are a few other things to keep in mind when making this rice:
- I like the texture of the mango as it cooks with the rice. But if you prefer the texture of fresh mango chunks, simply add the mango after the rice has cooked.
- The amount of salt you need might increase based on your taste level. Start with 1 1/4 teaspoons and increase, if needed, after the rice has cooked.
- This rice recipe uses sushi rice to get that sticky texture. You can easily find it at your local grocery in the ethnic food section or even in your rice aisle. I found it in both places at my grocery store.

Mango Coconut Sticky Rice
Ingredients
- 2 cups sushi rice
- 1 large mango diced
- 1 14-oz can coconut milk
- 1 cup water
- 1 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
If using a rice cooker:
- Use rice cooker measuring cup, measure 3 scoops of rice (should yield about 2 standard measuring cups of rice). Add to rice cooker with mango, salt, and coconut milk. Add water until you reach the 3 line of the rice cooker (should be about 1 standard cup of water but use the line to help you know when to stop). Turn rice cooker on and let it do its thing until finished. Fluff with a fork and serve!
If using a stovetop:
- Using the measurements in the ingredient list above, add all to a medium pot and bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to low to simmer for about 25 minutes, or until all liquid is absorbed.

Planning on making Cajun Chix recipe..But,loving to bake & cook I enjoy going through recipes. Being creative,too. I was looking for a rice recipe to go with kabobs. Sadly All reviews are going 2 make. Sure wish they would give a REAL taste review or comeback w/update??? Thank you 4 sharing both recipes. Pat
We make a lot of Chinese dishes, so a rice cooker would come in really handy for a lot of those dishes!
Totally agree!
I would use it to make rice for my family.
I’ll be making rice for sure! The rice I make on the stove comes out either soggy or crunchy.
Yes same for me!
I’ve actually never heard of mango sticky rice but it looks really yummy! Thanks for sharing!
You’re welcome!
This is a very nice recipe. Some chicken would go really well with this!
Thank!
Oh my word! This looks and sounds so delicious! I am a huge fan of mango…will definitely be giving this recipe a try!
You’re gonna love it!
We usually make several days worth of rice at once and portion and refrigerate them. I don’t know that we would make anything creative like you made because I worry about the reheating. We would probably just make plain old boring rice!!
Since the rice is moist and sticky, it reheats so well!
This mango coconut sticky rice looks so delicious! I will definitely be saving this recipe and trying for the family, thanks for sharing!

I am always looking for new rice recipes and your mango coconut rice looks delicious and so tropical !
Glad you like it!!
I love mango but have never had it in rice. What a great idea. I can’t wait to try it.
Mango and coconut is such a winning combination in my opinion!! This looks delicious, I love any recipe that includes jazzing up rice!
Yes me too!
OMG, this rice looks so delicious. I love anything mango so I’ll have to make this rice soon.
I have never tried this recipe but it looks so good and tasty and its really worth it to try. I am sure my husband will really love it!
My favorite fruit mixed with rice. Yum!
Love the look of this, I do quite like the Thai dessert version but it can be a little too sweet so this mixed-up version sounds perfect.
OMG! Mango sticky rice is my favorite dessert, but I haven’t ever had it all mixed up like this! Great idea!
The dessert was definitely the inspiration for this savory take!
This is one of my husband’s favorite desserts, and I’ve never made it for him! I’m definitely going to try this.
This is a savory version of that Thai dessert. But I think he will still enjoy it!
Mmm this looks and sounds like it would be delicious.
This looks so tasty! Perfect summer dish! Delicious!
You really made me crave sticky rice, it looks so yummy!
I honestly didn’t know a device like this existed! What you made looks and sounds delish, but I would love to try making a version making fried rice with the cooker!
Oh man what a great idea!
That combination sounds absolutely delicious! I’m going to have to try this sometime.
I love how you combined the mango and sticky rice instead of just topping the rice with the sliced mango, as is common! Less fuss, more time to eat!
