Main Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- 1
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.
- 2
Cook the Rice
Drain the soaked rice and place it in a steamer lined with cheesecloth. Steam the rice for about 30-40 minutes until it becomes translucent and sticky.
- 3
Prepare Coconut Sauce
In a saucepan, combine the coconut milk, sugar, and salt. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely. Do not let it boil. Reserve half of this mixture for drizzling later.

Combine Rice and Sauce
Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a mixing bowl. Pour the remaining coconut sauce over the rice and gently mix. Cover and let it sit for about 30 minutes to allow the rice to absorb the flavors.

Prepare Mango
While the rice is absorbing the coconut sauce, peel and slice the ripe mangoes into thin strips.
