Ingredients
  

For the Rice
  • 1 cup glutinous rice Key for achieving the sticky texture.
  • 1.5 cups coconut milk Used for both the rice and sauce.
  • 1 cup sugar Sweetens the coconut sauce.
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt Balances the sweetness.
For Serving
  • 2 pieces ripe mangoes Sliced for topping.
  • to taste Sesame seeds or mung beans For garnish.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Soak the glutinous rice in water for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
  2. Drain the soaked rice and steam it for 20-25 minutes until fully cooked and tender.
  3. In a saucepan, combine coconut milk, sugar, and salt. Cook over low heat until sugar dissolves but do not boil.
  4. Once the rice is cooked, mix it with about 1 cup of the warm coconut sauce and let it sit for 30 minutes.
  5. Peel the mangoes and slice them into thin strips.
  6. To serve, scoop the sticky rice onto plates, top with mango slices, and drizzle with remaining coconut sauce. Garnish with sesame seeds or mung beans.
  7. Enjoy the delightful combination of flavors!

Notes

For best results, soak the rice long enough to achieve the right texture. Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen with changes in texture. Reheat with a splash of coconut milk to restore moisture.
