Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup glutinous rice also known as sticky rice or sweet rice
  • 1 can 13.5 oz coconut milk
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 ripe mangoes peeled and sliced
  • Toasted sesame seeds or mung beans for garnish optional

Instructions
 

  • Soak the Sticky Rice:
    Rinse the glutinous rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
    Soak the rice in water for at least 4 hours or overnight. Drain well before cooking.
  • Steam the Sticky Rice:
    Place the soaked rice in a steamer basket lined with cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel.
    Steam the rice over medium-high heat for 25-30 minutes, or until it is tender and cooked through.
  • Prepare the Coconut Sauce:
    While the rice is cooking, pour the coconut milk into a saucepan.
    Add the sugar and salt to the coconut milk and heat gently over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Do not boil.
  • Combine Rice and Coconut Sauce:
    Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a mixing bowl.
    Pour half of the warm coconut sauce over the cooked rice and gently fold it in until the rice is evenly coated. Reserve the remaining coconut sauce for serving.
  • Assemble the Mango Sticky Rice:
    To serve, place a portion of the coconut-coated sticky rice on a plate or in a bowl.
    Arrange slices of ripe mango alongside or on top of the rice.
  • Drizzle with Coconut Sauce:
    Drizzle the remaining warm coconut sauce over the mango and rice.
  • Garnish and Serve:
    Garnish the Mango Sticky Rice with toasted sesame seeds or mung beans, if desired.
    Serve immediately and enjoy!
