It's the unit for food energy; on the other hand, calories are the unit for energy, but they're counted per thousand (ie kilocalories) to be useful for nutritional discussions. In the US, it spells "Calories" with a capital C. As in, one Calorie is one kilocalorie, which is one thousand calories. So basically kcal and cal are interchangeable.

Your question got me super confused too so I had to google 😅 In short, “kcal” is kilocalories. It’s the unit for food energy; on the other hand, calories are the unit for energy, but they’re counted per thousand (ie kilocalories) to be useful for nutritional discussions. In the US, it spells “Calories” with a capital C. As in, one Calorie is one kilocalorie, which is one thousand calories. So basically kcal and cal are interchangeable.

I will say I was initially confused about the nutrition information. It states per serving it is 288 kcal, wouldnt it be 288 cal?

It was easy and tasted just as delicious as the mango sticky rice we were served in Bangkok. Perfect to share with family and friends when we returned from Thailand so they might feel the joy of Thai street food.

If you use a good coconut milk, the sauce should be thick enough. If the can of coconut milk you use is separated, I would use the top layer (the creamy part) and discard the watery part, and the sauce will be creamier.
I wouldn’t use coconut cream directly, which is a bit too thick.

I’ve tried a few others and they weren’t hitting the spot, but this one did! I did use the 1/4 cup sugar, since I was serving it to guests, but I would probably cut the sugar back if just making it for myself.

I used sweetened condensed milk instead of sugar, so it turned out a bit sweeter than the recipe probably called for, but it was amazing! Will definitely make this again!
