Kao Niew Ma Muang means Mango and sticky rice and is one of the most popular desserts of Thai Cuisine. The sticky rice is soaked for several hours and then steamed over a pot of boiling water with a traditional Thai steamer basket. Only after the rice is cooked do you add the coconut milk with a little sugar and some salt mixed in it. As the rice sits in this mixture, it soaks up the wonderfully sweet and slightly salty coconut sauce so that each grain of rice is permeated with this flavor.
