Instant Pot Mango Jalapeño Sticky Rice

A few weeks ago, I made this Pineapple-Ginger Sticky Rice in my Instant Pot, and it turned out fantastic.  I knew instantly that I wanted to make some additional flavors of sticky rice.

Sticky Rice is becoming one of my family’s favorite foods and my favorite thing to make in my Instant Pot.   It only takes 12 minutes to cook.  I find myself making sticky rice for all kinds of cuisine, not only Asian-inspired dishes.  I make sticky rice when I make chicken casserole, jambalaya, but this sticky rice was used to make burrito bowls, my new obsession that was a food trend about five years ago.

Sticky rice is easy to make.  To get your rice sticky, you need to cook it with a different water/rice ratio.  Instead of a 1-1 water/rice ratio, you cook the rice at a .75-1 water ratio.

I used this formula for sticky rice and replaced some of the water with a can of mango.   I just found this canned mango for the first time last week at Super Target.  I picked up a bunch of it, and I also used it in my Mango Chicken Lettuce Wraps. 

When you make this sticky rice, the goal is to have 3 and 3/4 cups of liquid in total to mix with the two cups of jasmine rice. I put the canned mango and juice in a measuring up to make sure that I had the correct amount of liquid.  Make sense?  I made a video to help you out!
