Thai Mango Sticky Rice with Butterfly Pea Flower and Miso Coconut Cream Recipe by Kat Lieu

Thai sticky rice or Kow Neuw ข้าวเหนียว with mango is one of my favorite desserts. It’s gluten-free and usually vegan (I added condensed milk here, you can skip it or add vegan condensed milk, agave syrup, or maple syrup instead) and so refreshing, perfect as a warmed dessert in the winter time, and even better when chilled and enjoyed in the summer. Here’s a super easy recipe for you and you’ll be making Thai sticky rice in no time at home!

Fresh Corn and Latik Mochi Cake, super easy recipe by Kat Lieu

Not only is mochi incredibly popular right now, but this stunning cake requires less than 15 minutes of prep, and is just one of the many fantastic baked treats and more (homemade boba!) you’ll find in Kat Lieu’s new cookbook, Modern Asian Baking at Home: Essential Sweet and Savory Recipes for Milk Bread, Mooncakes, Mochi, and More. Mochi cakes and butter mochi are so hot right now and everybody’s writing about or featuring them. What makes my recipe stand out from the others is I make it with condensed milk and mix the entire batter in a blender. For those of you who don’t have a blender, you can whip up the batter in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or hand-whisk everything together. What I also love about my recipe is the addition of miso for a subtle pop of umami and the beautiful sprinkling of latik, made from fried coconut milk curd. This recipe is relatively foolproof and super customizable. I recommend having some patience and eating the cake a day after baking; that’s when the chewy QQ texture really settles in and anyone who loves toothsome textures will adore this cake. It’ll be a stunner at any party, and yes, you can thank me. xoxoxo, Kat
