Mango Sticky Rice
Method
Mango Sticky Rice
- 1
Prepare the Glutinous Rice
Rinse the glutinous rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch. Soak the rice in water for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
- 2
Steam the Rice
Drain the soaked rice and place it in a bamboo steamer or a heatproof dish lined with cheesecloth. Steam the rice over boiling water for about 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is translucent and cooked through.
- 3
Prepare the Coconut Sauce
In a saucepan, combine the coconut milk, sugar, and salt. Heat gently over low heat until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is warmed through. Do not bring to a boil.

Combine Rice and Coconut Sauce
Once the rice is done steaming, transfer it to a large bowl. Pour about 2/3 of the coconut sauce over the hot rice and mix well to combine. Let the rice sit for about 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Prepare the Mango
While the rice is resting, peel the mangoes and slice them into thin strips or wedges.
- 6
Serve
To serve, place a portion of the sticky rice on a plate or in a bowl, arrange the mango slices beside it, and drizzle with the remaining coconut sauce. Sprinkle sesame seeds or mung beans on top if desired.
