Sweet Sticky Rice With Mango (Kha Neow Mamuang)

My Daughter has just come home from a backpacking trip through Asia. Whilst over there, she took a cooking class with Permpoon Nabnian, and bought home some of the recipes. This one was one of her favourites. Rice should be soaked at least 4 hours but preferably overnight. Soaking has been included in times.
