Method
Prepare the Sticky Rice
Soak the 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 for best results.
Steam the Rice
Drain the soaked rice and place it in a bamboo or metal steamer lined with cheesecloth. Steam the rice for about 30-40 minutes until it's tender and sticky.
Prepare Coconut Sauce
While the rice is steaming, combine the coconut milk, sugar, and salt in a saucepan. Heat over low-medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Do not let it boil.
Combine Rice and Coconut Sauce
Once the rice is done steaming, transfer it to a large bowl. Pour ¾ of the coconut sauce over the rice and mix well. Let it sit for about 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Prepare the Mango Topping
Slice the Mango
Peel the ripe mangoes and slice them into thin strips or wedges.
Assemble the Dish
Serve
Scoop a portion of the sticky rice onto a plate, top with slices of fresh mango, and drizzle with the remaining coconut sauce. Sprinkle sesame seeds or mung beans on top for garnish.
