Cultured Palate: Dishes from Thailand

Coconut sticky rice
Coconut sticky rice can be found almost anywhere in Thailand from elaborate dishes on restaurant menus to simple treats found on street food carts. The basis of the dish is simple- coconut milk is mixed in with the steamed sticky rice, while the coconut cream is reserved to make a sauce, which is drizzled on top of the rice and sliced sweet mangos. Some street food cart versions use the sticky rice as a base for other ingredients — palm sugar, banana, or even strips of coconut meat.
