Sticky Rice

Coconut Sauce

Topping

Method

Prepare the Sticky Rice

  1. 1

    Soak the Rice

    Rinse 1 cup of 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.

  2. 2

    Steam the Rice

    After soaking, drain the rice and place it in a steamer basket lined with cheesecloth. Steam the rice over boiling water for about 25-30 minutes, or until tender and sticky.

Make the Coconut Sauce

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup of coconut milk, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Stir until the sugar dissolves.

  2. 4

    Heat the Sauce

    Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Prepare the Topping

  1. 5

    Slice the Mango

    Peel and slice the two mangos into thin strips or wedges.

  2. 6

    Prepare Sesame Seeds

    If using sesame seeds, toast them in a dry pan over medium heat for a few minutes until golden. If using mung beans, boil them until tender and drain.

Assemble the Dish

  1. 7

    Combine Rice and Sauce

    Once the sticky rice is cooked, transfer it to a bowl and pour half of the coconut sauce over it. Mix well to incorporate the sauce into the rice.

  2. 8

    Serve

    Serve the sticky rice on a plate, topped with the sliced mango, the remaining coconut sauce drizzled over the top, and sprinkle toasted sesame seeds or mung beans for garnish.
