I've made this recipe twice. Both times it was great! The first time I used the recommended amount of sugar and the second time I used a 1/4 cup less. I liked it a little better the second time, using less sugar. I will say that when I tried the rice by itself it seemed too sweet and had a syrupy after taste, but once I combined it with the fruit, it tasted fine. Both times I skipped the last part of the recipe--making the extra sauce to put over top of the sticky rice. I just followed the first part of the recipe and then combined the sauce with the rice and then added the mango on top. It was great! Also, one of the times I used strawberries and mango with the sticky rice. This was great too. With the rice so sweet, I think this rice would work great with various fruits, especially fruits that might not be as sweet. Maybe raspberries would be good too.
