Mango Sticky Rice for a dinner party — went down extremely well

I made Mango Sticky Rice for eight guests who had varying familiarity with the cuisine. Every single person asked for the recipe. The deeply aromatic profile was the main talking point — no one had quite experienced fish sauce used that way before.

fresh herbs and aromatics are added at the last moment to preserve fragrance. I explained the a traditional home kitchen context as I served it which helped people appreciate it fully. Singha beer was what I offered alongside and it worked perfectly. Excellent dinner party dish — impressive without being inaccessible.
