Mango Sticky Rice with Coconut-Lime Sauce

Mango Sticky Rice with Coconut-Lime Sauce Recipe

Mango sticky rice is a sweet, creamy, and tangy dessert that's popular street fare in Thailand. Luckily, you won’t have to cross the Pacific to enjoy this Thai treat—we’ve devised an easy way to make sticky rice with mango at home. Find sticky rice, also called Thai sweet rice or glutinous rice, at Asian markets. The traditional method calls for soaking the rice overnight, then steaming it in a bamboo steamer basket. Our clever method steams the rice in a shallow perforated metal colander placed inside a pot of boiling water (you can also use a mesh colander, but it’s more difficult to clean). While the sticky rice steams, cut the mango and whip up the indulgent coconut-lime sauce. Cooked sticky rice doesn’t keep well, so for the best flavor and texture, enjoy this dish as soon as possible.

Striped Yogurt-and-Sorbet 'Ice Cream' Sandwiches Recipe

When you were a kid, there was nothing better than ripping open the package of an ice cream sandwich and getting that chocolate cookie sludge all over your fingers. But now you're an adult of sophisticated tastes, and you need an ice cream sandwich recipe to match. Enter: Striped yogurt-and-sorbet sandwiches. Vanilla frozen yogurt, mango sorbet, and raspberry sorbet are layered between two crunchy molasses spice cookies. They look beautiful and taste even better. Maybe even good enough to forget the ice cream sandwich of your youth.

Black Bean Tostadas with Mango-Avocado Salsa

Black Bean Tostadas with Mango-Avocado Salsa Recipe

You can substitute pinto beans for black beans if you wish. Remember to pick through the bag of dried beans for little pebbles or shriveled beans before dumping them in the slow cooker. The Mango-Avocado Salsa is also a tasty topping for grilled chicken or fish, or serve it with pita or tortilla chips. We love taking a hearty, flavorful protein like these Slow-Cooker Black Beans and giving it an exotic spin! Your family will love these build-your-own tostadas. We make the bacon optional in this recipe, for those looking for a veggie-only dish. Though, the flavor from the salty bacon slices is hard to beat in any recipe.

Shrimp and Bean Burrito Bowl

Shrimp and Bean Burrito Bowl  Recipe

Sweet chili sauce is not too sweet, spicy, or salty--great for an instant glaze on the shrimp, in marinades, or as a dipping sauce for spring rolls or chicken kebabs. Find it in the international aisle of most supermarkets. If you can't find it, sub regular chili sauce (such as Heinz), or skip the sauce and squeeze a lime wedge over top. For a vegetarian main, use cubed tofu instead of shrimp, and use vegetable stock instead of chicken stock in the bean mixture. Serve with Mango-Jalapeño Slaw.

Mango Royale Recipe

American ice box cake meets Filipino crema de fruta (a layered cake often made with canned fruit cocktail) in Isa Fabro's fresh, creamy dessert. "It's American and Filipino at the same time--like me!" says the chef at Unit 120 in Los Angeles. You'll need a 9-in. springform pan, and a small offset spatula is helpful for spreading. Mangoes may need a few days to ripen in a paper bag.

Passion Pisco Punch Recipe

A tropical spin on the South American classic, this version uses zingy passion fruit and mango to add brightness to pisco. You might be lucky enough to find passion fruit at your regular supermarket year-round, but it’s more widely available at Asian, Latin, and gourmet supermarkets. Rich in immune-boosting vitamin C and anti-inflammatory polyphenols, the most common variety looks like a purple-brown egg and has a sweet-tart flavor.

Small pearl tapioca combined with coconut milk and fresh pineapple makes a simple tropics-inspired treat. The key to success is using small pearl tapioca, not instant or minute tapioca. Fresh mango or papaya works equally well as a substitute for the fresh pineapple.

Trinidadian Mango Chow

EC: Chow Down on a Spicy Trinidadian Breakfast
Credit: All photos by Teresa Sabga

Trinidadian Mango Chow Recipe

Every Sunday morning at 8 a.m. sharp, my immediate family of seven rises to the sound of horns blaring at the gate. Grandpa’s here with breakfast, of course. He enters with rosy cheeks and meticulously unfolds a blue-and-white checkered kitchen towel from a wicker basket. We all throw our hands up at this week’s Julie mango harvest. When the overwhelming heat of dawn swells in the walls of our home, sucking on the seed of an ice-cold ripe mango is pure cooling bliss. But in my opinion, an unripe mango—what we Trinidadians call a “green mango”—trumps all.

Towering 35 feet over the green grass in Grandpa’s garden, casting shade over his home, stands the most majestic tree. It bears bright yellow and orange sun-kissed fruit with a slight pink blush, and a few prized unripe green mangoes camouflaged within the leaves. Problem: Grandpa is only willing to share his fruit once it’s fully grown, but what he doesn’t know can’t hurt him, right? His grandkids—me included—are sneaky. One person distracts Grandpa while another climbs the tree and picks the unripe gems right off the branch. (Depending on your luck, you might find one on the ground.) If Grandpa catches the thief, Arabic swear words are cast toward them, followed by one mighty steups (the sucking sound made by sticking tongue against teeth—a sure sign of irritation). Failure or success, a stolen batch is always worth the scolding.

Green mangoes are an integral ingredient in Trinidadian cuisine, like kutchela, chutney, takari, and my favorite breakfast dish, chow. It’s a garlicky, spicy, tart fruit salad that’s most commonly made with mango, but apple, pineapple, pommecythere, and cucumber may show up, too. On an early morning drive to Maracas Beach, on the north coast of the island, I’ll spy vendors setting up shop to sell chow of all sorts. It’s a popular topping for shark and bake sandwiches, grilled meat, and anything curried—my stomach is growling just typing this.

In chow, hard green mangoes are sliced, marinated in lime juice, and seasoned with shado beni, a spiny coriander plant. If you cannot locate shado beni at your local grocery store, you’re sure to find it at any West Indian or Mexican market. On the island, we may not live in huts without electricity (as some people assume), but we do eat chow with our fingers. Stick to this tradition—you’ll enjoy licking your hands once the bowl is empty—just keep a glass of water at hand because things are bound to get spicy.

Sweet Potato Cakes with Chicken and Poblano Relish

Sweet Potato Cakes with Chicken and Poblano Relish Recipe

Crispy potato cakes are a no-brainer for leftover roasted potatoes and are the perfect canvas for so many flavors from sweet to spicy. These cakes are topped with a smoky poblano relish and shredded chicken to make a meal. Quick-cooking oats add heft and sturdiness to the patties without weighing them down. Swap the all-purpose flour for rice or oat flour for a gluten-free main. The potato cakes would also be a fantastic appetizer: Form smaller patties before cooking and top with the poblano mixture or a fresh mango salsa.

Coconut Yogurt Mango Lassi

Coconut Yogurt Mango Lassi Recipe

Typically served on the Indian subcontinent, a mango lassi is a cool, thick smoothie. While technically lassis are made with yogurt, we’re changing things up and using dairy-free coconut yogurt. But this recipe will work with your favorite dairy yogurt too. Not into mango? Try making a lassi with any fruit—we recommend starting out with peach or strawberry. Or skip the fruit altogether and blend yogurt, sugar, and ice with pinch of saffron or dash of rosewater.

Toss fresh and frozen mango into a blender with a big scoop of coconut yogurt and nondairy milk. Add cardamon and cinnamon, then sweeten the mixture with a glob of honey (or maple syrup, for the vegans). Puree the lassi until thick and smooth.

Black Sticky Rice Porridge with Fresh Mango and Papaya

EC: This Eye-Popping Tropical Breakfast Wakes Up All Your Senses

Black Sticky Rice Porridge with Fresh Mango and Papaya Recipe

Porridge. Yeah. That probably conjures up grim, Dickensian images of thin, gray gruel seasoned with—at best—tears and soot. But not in Louis Tikaram's world. At his restaurant and bar—E.P. and L.P., respectively—in Los Angeles, the Aussie-Fijian chef is known for bold, bright flavors with a visual punch. At home, he won't mute that sensibility, but he doesn't go in for a lot of morning fuss, either. While dramatic, black rice steams on the stove and almond milk warms, Tikaram takes the time to chill out with his recently adopted—and frequently Instagrammed—dog, P., and plan his day.

Once that's ready to go, a little salt, sugar, and bright fruit slices (use whatever's in season) make this pretty porridge a simple, clean, colorful way to meet the morning—and it's delicious as the dickens.

Tropical Chicken Lettuce Wraps

Tropical Chicken Lettuce Wraps Recipe

These no-cook lettuce wraps are impressive enough for a party but easy enough to pull off on the busiest weeknight. The chicken salad, which is livened up with a touch of jalapeño, lime zest, and honey, earned rave reviews in the Test Kitchen. Assemble the wraps and serve them family-style on a large platter, or set out all of the components in bowls and let everyone help themselves. It’s not often that you come across a 15-minute recipe that’s light but filling enough for a meal. These lettuce wraps pack a little heat and a little sweet. Wrapped in tender butter lettuce and garnished with cashews for crunch, these lettuce wraps have more flavor and texture than you would expect in their small package. Filled with sweet mango and a hint of lime juice, one Test Kitchen professional said these wraps are “a wonderful taste of the tropics.” Lettuce wraps are easily portable, so we recommend making extra chicken mixture to pack for lunch during the week. The chicken mixture, mango, cashew, and cilantro leaves don’t have to remain in lettuce wraps, though. Serve this tropical creation in a whole-wheat wrap or over a bed of leafy greens for a healthy lunch or dinner options. With this healthy recipe, there are enough possibilities to add it to your weekly rotation.

Strawberry-Mango Semifreddo Recipe

This simple dessert earned high marks from our Test Kitchen for its gorgeous colors and bright flavors. Creamy mango sorbet is a delightful match for strawberry ice cream. Make this beauty up to 5 days before serving. Semifreddo, an Italian word meaning “half cold,” refers to any of the various chilled or partially frozen deserts, including cakes, ice creams, and custards. A little dressier than a plain bowl of ice cream and bursting with the flavors of the season, this Strawberry-Mango Semifreddo will be an instant hit when you serve it at baby showers, bridal teas, or Sunday suppers with the family. Since you can make it in advance and keep chilled until serving, your party preparations become much easier.
