Sticky Rice

Coconut Sauce

Topping

Method

Prepare the Sticky Rice

  1. 1

    Rinse the Rice

    In a bowl, rinse the glutinous rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This usually takes about 3-4 washes.

  2. 2

    Soak the Rice

    Soak the rinsed rice in water for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.

  3. 3

    Steam the Rice

    After soaking, drain the rice and place it in a steamer lined with cheesecloth. Steam for about 30-40 minutes until the rice is translucent and tender.

Make the Coconut Sauce

  1. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    In a saucepan, combine the coconut milk, sugar, and salt. Cook over medium heat until the sugar dissolves but do not let it boil.

  2. 5

    Mix with Sticky Rice

    Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large bowl and pour about 3/4 of the coconut sauce over the warm sticky rice. Stir gently to combine. Let it sit for about 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Prepare the Topping

  1. 6

    Slice the Mango

    Peel and slice the ripe mango into thin strips.

  2. 7

    Toast Sesame Seeds

    In a small pan, toast the sesame seeds over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes until golden and fragrant.

Assemble the Dish

  1. 8

    Plate the Sticky Rice

    Scoop a portion of the sticky rice onto a plate.

  2. 9

    Add Mango and Sauce

    Top with sliced mango and drizzle the remaining coconut sauce over the top. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.

  3. 10

    Serve

    Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy your Mango Sticky Rice!
