Thai mango sticky rice (Khao Nieow Ma-muang)

Everyday we had this mouth watering dessert (Thai mango sticky rice) without failed when we visited to Bangkok recently. This is actually easy and simple to make at home..just make sure you serve with sweet and nice mangoes.

My husband told me he especially likes the crunchy yellow tiny things (he was not sure what is that ) as he found the usual one we having here is without the fried things. After i tried in Bangkok, I know what he means, actually that tiny yellow thing is fried mung beans..i also re-create this with my own recipe as per below.

I also using the glutinous rice that i brought back from Bangkok..
