🛒 Ingredients

✓ 1.5 cups Thai sticky rice (uncooked)
✓ 1.75 cups water for cooking rice
✓ 4 sheets nori (seaweed)
✓ 1 ripe Thai mango, peeled and cut into thin strips
✓ 1 cucumber, julienned
✓ 1 small carrot, julienned
✓ 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
✓ 1 tbsp fish sauce
✓ 1 tsp sesame oil
✓ 2 tbsp Greek yogurt (0% fat)
✓ 1 tbsp light mayonnaise
✓ 1/3 cup light coconut milk
✓ 1/4 tsp coconut extract
✓ 1 tbsp sweet chili sauce
✓ 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
✓ Pinch of salt and white pepper
✓ 1 tbsp fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Cook the Sticky Rice: Rinse sticky rice thoroughly under cold water until water runs clear. In a rice cooker or pot, combine rice with 1.75 cups water. Cook on high heat until boiling, then reduce to low and simmer covered for 15 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes off heat.

2. Season the Rice: Transfer warm sticky rice to a bowl. Drizzle with lime juice, fish sauce, and sesame oil. Fold gently with a spatula to distribute seasonings evenly. Cool to room temperature (about 10 minutes).

3. Prepare the Yogurt Spread: In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, light mayonnaise, grated ginger, and a pinch of white pepper. This mimics traditional Japanese mayo while cutting 65% of the saturated fat.

4. Make the Coconut Drizzle: Combine light coconut milk, coconut extract, sweet chili sauce, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth. Set aside for finishing the rolls.

5. Assemble the Rolls: Place a nori sheet shiny-side down on a bamboo mat. Spread a thin layer of seasoned sticky rice (about 1/4 inch) across the sheet, leaving a 1-inch border at the top. Apply a thin line of yogurt spread 2 inches from the bottom edge. Layer mango strips, cucumber, and carrot in a line on top of the spread.

6. Roll Tightly: Using the bamboo mat, roll the nori tightly toward the top edge, pressing gently to seal. The rice should adhere naturally; if needed, dab the top border with a drop of water to seal. Cut rolls into 6–8 pieces with a sharp, damp knife.

7. Arrange and Finish: Place cut rolls on a plate, flat-side up. Drizzle generously with the prepared coconut-chili sauce. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired. Serve immediately.
